There was a pause, then he smiled and said, "Oh, I'm not sure. I didn't expect it to live that long." He knows me so well! When I laughed and assured him I would do my best to keep it alive, he gave me a hug and said in a reassuring voice, "Let's just enjoy it while it lasts." He knows me so well and yet still buys me flowers because he loves…
