How has she helped you cope with today's crisis? Other crises and problems?
Answer: She has made it so natural for us to be as one that we never face anything as the problem of one or the other of us, it is ours to be dealt with as something affecting the two of us.

Anything I want to add about Nancy? — And how my love manifested itself over the years — right up to now, and how she is supporting me, especially at this time?
Answer: What can I say? Being married to Nancy is like coming in from out of the cold to a warm room and an open fire. I miss her if she just goes down the hall to another room.
