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?
