Believe me, I definitely appreciate her. After 40 years, she's less inclined for hugs and kisses than she used to be.
This said, as old folks, and empty nesters, we do have our time together, intimate and otherwise.
I go to bed at night thinking of our years together, and wake up in the morning thinking of our years together, lately more than ever, perhaps because of the 40 year milestone.
How lucky I've been to have her is always on my mind.
I've lived a life full of love, and thus can die happy.
