Mitch Albom: "Angin bertiup, dan pasir di sekeliling gambarnya bersera...

"Angin bertiup, dan pasir di sekeliling gambarnya berserakan. Dia membungkus jari-jarinya di dalam jari istrinya, dan Father Time menghidupkan kembali hubungan yang hanya pernah dia miliki dengannya. Dia menyerah pada sensasi itu dan merasakan tetes terakhir kehidupan mereka saling bersentuhan, seperti air di gua, puncak bertemu dasar, Surga bertemu Bumi. Ketika mata mereka tertutup, sepasang mata yang berbeda terbuka, dan mereka bangkit dari tanah sebagai bagian selatan, naik dan turun, matahari dan bulan di satu langit."

--- Mitch Albom

Versi Bahasa Inggris

A wind blew, and the sand around his drawing scattered. He wrapped his fingers inside his wife's, and Father Time rekindled a connection he had only ever had with her. He surrendered to that sensation and felt the final drops of their lives touch one another, like water in a cave, top meets bottom, Heaven meets Earth. As their eyes closed, a different set of eyes opened, and they rose from the ground as a shared south, up and up, a sun and a moon in a single sky.
