O verdadeiro amor está longe do romantismo, não tem muito a ver com erotismo, nem com sexo, mas está ligado ao trabalho, ao complemento, ao cuidado e, sobretudo, ao amor verdadeiro que duas pessoas realmente comprometidas professam.

| My parents were married for 55 years. | Meus pais foram casados por 55 anos. |
| One morning, my mom was going downstairs to make dad breakfast, she had a heart attack and fell. | Certa manhã, minha mãe estava descendo as escadas para fazer o café da manhã do papai, ela teve um ataque cardíaco e caiu. |
| My father picked her up as best he could and almost dragged her into the truck. | Meu pai a pegou da melhor forma que pôde e quase a arrastou para dentro da caminhonete. |
| At full speed, without respecting traffic lights, he drove her to the hospital. | A toda velocidade, sem respeitar os semáforos, ele a levou para o hospital. |
| When he arrived, unfortunately, she was no longer with us. | Ao chegar ao hospital, infelizmente, ela não estava mais conosco. |
| During the funeral, my father did not speak; his gaze was lost. | Durante o funeral, meu pai não falou; seu olhar estava perdido. |
| He hardly cried. | Ele quase não chorou. |
| That night, his children joined him. | Naquela noite, seus filhos se juntaram a ele. |
| In an atmosphere of pain and nostalgia, we remembered beautiful anecdotes and he asked my brother, a theologian, to tell him where Mom would be at that moment. | Em um clima de dor e nostalgia, lembramos de belas anedotas e ele pediu a meu irmão, teólogo, que lhe dissesse onde mamãe estaria naquele momento. |
| My brother began to talk about life after death, and guesses as to how and where she would be. | Meu irmão começou a falar sobre a vida após a morte, e fez suposições sobre como e onde ela estaria. |
| My father listened carefully. | Meu pai ouviu com atenção. |
| Suddenly he asked us to take him to the cemetery. | De repente, ele nos pediu para levá-lo ao cemitério. |
| "Dad!" we replied, "it's 11 at night, we can't go to the cemetery right now!" | "Pai!", respondemos, "são 11 da noite, não podemos ir ao cemitério agora!" |
| He raised his voice, and with a glazed look he said: | Ele ergueu a voz e com um olhar vidrado disse: |
| "Don't argue with me, please don't argue with the man who just lost his wife of 55 years." | "Não discuta comigo, por favor, não discuta com o homem que acabou de perder sua esposa de 55 anos." |
| There was a moment of respectful silence, we didn't argue anymore. | Houve um momento de respeitoso silêncio, não discutimos mais. |
| We went to the cemetery, we asked the night watchman for permission. | Fomos ao cemitério, pedimos permissão ao vigia noturno. |
| With a flashlight, we reached the tomb. | Com uma lanterna, chegamos ao túmulo. |
| My father caressed her, prayed, and told his children, who watched the scene moved: | Meu pai o acariciou, rezou e disse aos filhos, que assistiram a cena emocionados: |
| "It was 55 years... you know? No one can talk about true love if they have no idea what it's like to share life with a woman." | "Foram 55 anos... sabe? Ninguém pode falar de amor verdadeiro se não tem ideia de como é dividir a vida com uma mulher." |
| He paused and wiped his face. | Ele fez uma pausa e enxugou o rosto. |
| "She and I, we were together in that crisis. I changed jobs ..." he continued. | "Ela e eu estávamos juntos naquela crise. Mudei de emprego...", continuou. |
| "We packed up when we sold the house and moved out of town. We shared the joy of seeing our children finish their careers, we mourned the departure of loved ones side by side, we prayed together in the waiting room of some hospitals, we support each other in pain, we hug each Christmas, and we forgive our mistakes." | "Fizemos as malas quando vendemos a casa e mudamos de cidade. Compartilhamos a alegria de ver nossos filhos terminarem a carreira, lamentamos a partida de entes queridos lado a lado, oramos juntos na sala de espera de alguns hospitais, apoiamos uns aos outros na dor, nos abraçamos a cada Natal, e perdoamos nossos erros." |
| "Children, now it's gone, and I'm happy, do you know why? Because she left before me. She didn't have to go through the agony and pain of burying me, of being left alone after my departure." | "Crianças, agora acabou, e eu estou feliz, sabe por quê? Porque ela partiu antes de mim. Ela não teve que passar pela agonia e a dor de me enterrar, de ficar sozinha depois da minha partida." |
| "I will be the one to go through that, and I thank God. I love her so much that I wouldn't have liked her to suffer." | "Eu serei a única a passar por isso, e agradeço a Deus. Eu a amo tanto que não gostaria que ela sofresse." |
| When my father finished speaking, my brothers and I had tears streaming down our faces. | Quando meu pai terminou de falar, meus irmãos e eu tínhamos lágrimas escorrendo pelo rosto. |
| We hugged him, and he comforted us, "It's okay, we can go home, it's been a good day." | Nós o abraçamos e ele nos confortou: "Está tudo bem, podemos ir para casa, foi um bom dia". |
| That night I understood what true love is; It is far from romanticism, it does not have much to do with eroticism, or with sex, rather it is linked to work, to complement, to care and, above all, to the true love that two really committed people profess. | Naquela noite compreendi o que é o verdadeiro amor; Está longe do romantismo, não tem muito a ver com erotismo, nem com sexo, mas está ligado ao trabalho, ao complemento, ao cuidado e, sobretudo, ao amor verdadeiro que duas pessoas realmente comprometidas professam. |
| Peace in your hearts. | Paz em seus corações. |
| Love and Light. | Amor e Luz. |
