  14. The love you two share is always the most delicious part of your life story. We have been together for 37, married for 36—together more than we have lived without. In honor of Valentine's Day, I made a big bad chocolate cake—with ganache—like I made when we were both much younger! It was like eating truffles with a fork. Now at 61, when the heart races that's not always such a good thing. We survived! Wishing you and your true love years of more love.
