It was the best seven months of my life. Maybe I don't actually3that. But it was certainly the time when I felt most4. During those seven months, I came to5that whatever else I did in my life, nothing would6more than taking care of my husband. I discovered that the minor complaint of an annoying coworker, or a flat tire pales (失色) in7with the beauty of sincere laughter, or the8of a bakery. There were moments of9, laughter, and tenderness in every day. I found I could train myself to see beauty10bother.

I am a better person for having been Bill's caregiver. It was his last, best20to me.
