00:00I've been in love exactly three times in my life.

00:06When people say this type of thing, it's implied that love is finite.

00:10First I loved him.

00:13Then I loved him.

00:15Now I love him.

00:17But love isn't finite.

00:20It stretches on forever, like a blanket of stars at nighttime.

00:25My first love was Sam,

00:27a journalist I met in college who took me to the mountains and made love to me for the first time.

00:34The morning after, as he lay sleeping next to me,

00:37I said his name over and over like a prayer.

00:41Sam. Sam. Sam.

00:45The most ordinary name you've ever heard.

00:51Years later, when he died after a short battle with cancer,

00:55I wouldn't find out until months after it happened.

00:58But my love still exists.

01:01Like a dream from the night before.

01:05And then, there's Oscar.

01:08My Huckleberry friend.

01:11My husband.

01:12I will never take that word for granted.

01:16And Arthur.

01:19A son who was never really mine.

01:22Sometimes when everything falls apart and I think to myself that this can't be all there is,

01:27I remember a poem I once read.

01:30Tell me, what else should I have done?

01:33Doesn't everything die at last and too soon?

01:37Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
