27 years and 7 days from the day I took my wife as a life partner. Told her the day we were married that I took the vows of for richer or poorer, for better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death due us part as a serious pledge to each other, told her it was both our job to make it work.
It has only been a few months since she died in my arms and I still feel like I was granted a great gift to share my life with her. I count myself among the lucky ones that find a person that you plan to grow old and die with the one you gave your heart to.
Now will lightning strike twice? Don't know if it does it does, if not I will die a happy man all the same in my time.
