«When you live with another person for 50 years, all of your memories are invested in that person, like a bank account of shared memories. It?s not that you refer to them constantly.

You know that the other person does remember. Thus, the past is part of the present as long as the other person lives. It is better than any scrapbook, because you are both living scrapbooks.»
