“We’ve hit that age where we’re attending a lot of funerals. In the last decade, we’ve buried our parents, relatives and close friends — it’s sad, but in a way has made us aware of a lot.”
“What’s the biggest thing you’ve learnt?”
“That you hear it all along and think of it as a cliché, but life really is so short. We’re childhood sweethearts and have to accept that at any point, one of us could lose the other…that the only love we’ve known all our lives may be gone tomorrow.”
“How do you deal with that?”
“By actually appreciating our time together — even if we’re doing nothing. We’re poles apart — I pray for 45 minutes a day and he doesn’t even remember the last time he went to a temple but love doesn’t mean you have to become clones of each other… it’s about loving those differences.”
“What advice would you give a large group of people?”
“Love harder than you have ever before. You take things for granted and before you know it, you reach our age and you look back and wish that you had said ‘I love you’ more, or that you hadn’t let one argument stretch on for days. It’s simple really — live and love today, leave nothing for tomorrow.”
