00:00I did not really plan to speak today. I was not convinced I'd be able to, and I'm still not quite sure I can get through this, so please bear with me.
00:14Valentino, you were the person I spoke to, not the person I spoke about. You were beside me when words were not needed. Life was not always perfect, but it was real.
00:37One day at a time, for more than 40 years, all strung together, became extraordinary because we were living them together.
00:47This is what I'll miss about you most. I know how many people loved you, and I'm grateful for that, but what we shared was ours alone.
00:59And I will hold that carefully for the rest of my life. I don't say goodbye today. I say thank you for choosing me, for walking with me, and for leaving me changed forever.
01:22Thank you.
