Question

13．I recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash，and something happened at the memorial service that he'll never forget．He shared the story with me．
At the memorial service，his friend's wife walked to the platform to speak to the gathering． She said a friend had asked her the best memory she had of their life together．At the moment，she had been too sad to answer，but she had thought about it since and wanted to answer the question．
They were in their late forties when he died，and she began talking about a time in their life almost twenty years earlier．She had quit her job to obtain her master's degree，and her husband never hesitated in his support．
He held down his own job and also did the cooking，cleaning，and other housework while she studied for her degree． One time they both stayed up all night．She was finishing her paper，and he was preparing for an important-business meeting．That morning，she walked out of her study，leaned against the door by the stairs，looked at her husband downstairs and just thought about how much she loved him．She knew how important this meeting was to his future，and she was feeling guilty that she didn't even have time to make his breakfast．He took his briefcase and hurried out．
She heard the garage door open and close，but much to her surprise，she heard it open again about thirty seconds later．From above，she watched her husband dash into the house and walk over to the forgotten coffee table．Marking the surface of it with his finger through the dust with the words"I love you"，then he raced back to his car．
The new widow then looked out at her audience and said，"John and I had a wonderful life together．We have been around the world several times．We've had everything money can buy…but nothing comes close to that moment．"
    Hearing this，I was deeply moved．"Love makes life worthwhile．"
