Do you know how long we were married? Fifty-four years.

 You are surprised? Yes, because nowadays such a long marriage is rare.

And do you know why? Because people today are egoists. They think only of themselves. They want what they want.

How did Paolo and I stay together for 54 years? I cooked him whatever he wanted. If he had a hankering for spaghetti carbonara, I made it.

 And Paolo never ever complained about anything I cooked.
