The?Serenity?of?the?Moment

It?was?one?warm?evening?many?years?ago.

After?spending?nearly?every?waking?minute?with?Angel?for?eight?straight?days，?I?knew?that?I?had?to?tell?her?just?one?thing.

So?late?at?night，?just?before?she?fell?asleep，?I?whispered?it?in?her?ear.

She?smiled?—?the?kind?of?smile?that?makes?me?smile?back?—?and?she?said，

＂When?I，m?seventy－five?and?I?think?about?my?life?and?what?it?was?like?to?be?young，?I?hope?that?I?can?remember?this?very?moment.＂

A?few?seconds?later?she?closed?her?eyes?and?fell?asleep.

The?room?was?peaceful?—?almost?silent.?All?I?could?hear?was?the?soft?purr?of?her?breathing.

I?stayed?awake?thinking?about?the?time?we，dspent?together?and?all?the?choices?in?our?lives?that?made?this?moment?possible.

And?at?some?point，?I?realized?that?it?didn，tmatter?what?we，d?done?or
