An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal, in which case it's impressive to keep such a record of their life, or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.

Even through that detail you can really feel how much he loved and admired her.

Time's cruelty is making the wonderful feel shorter than the painful.

Hopefully we're all lucky enough to be allowed to rest without suffering and surrounded by our loved ones.
