Was love at first sight.

It had everything I wanted.

I knew it was serious when he told me

"She makes this" healthy food ""...

He said he loved, but I know he knows

sh*t, I grew up on a farm and I know.

I woke up thinking about her,

but has never been easy for me to say what I feel.

Yes it was easy possible to stay in my guest house

.

The next five nights cook,

walked along the beach and met.

A fifth night the relationship became more intimate

-

- the sixth day she moved to live here.

Two years later

married in a beautiful ceremony in Maui.

We had invited

65 friends and family members.

Michael Douglas said in his speech that many have

problems with a woman 30 years younger.

"I gave Shep some tips:

If she dies, he dies."

We went on honeymoon to Fiji, an island

you only get one guest at a time.

Upon arrival we were told that there was another

couple on the island, but no bother.

Renee The computer did not work,

so I went to get help from the reception.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang

.

Was Steve Jobs, the other guest.

Steve Jobs arranged her team.

Rene

finished cooking for him over the next five days.

Was one of the magical moments of my life

.

When we returned,

I could not avoid being his manager.

She managed to publish a book,

and helped her get a TV.

I could not help it,

was all he knew.

I told Renee that wanted children.

Working on it, but she became pregnant

no. Simplememnte was not.

Some can cope without children

- But habemos others that, in that case,

we lack something. Shep is one of them.

I said we should go to the doctor

- But Rene

thought should happen naturally.

I respetabasu opinion,

but I did not agree with it

After that we grew apart, and ended

divorcindonos.

I have no idea who

I will leave it when you die.

I do not know.

No I have taken care of that yet.

On January 13, 2012

Shep desps to play golf again.

I asked how he felt.

She said her stomach hurt, it was swollen.

Usually play nine holes,

so it was no surprise to leave.

- Left us and went home.

- He went out.

I asked if he wanted to stay with him,

but told me to go home.

I was a little worried.

He sent me a message. "Can you come?"

I went and saw that I was suffering a lot.

Thought:
I have to take him to hospital.

Arrived at the emergency room, and put

enough drugs to sleep an elephant.

The doctor said it was like a heart attack

in the small intestine.

If not operated, Shep die.

If the surgery was done, would

only 20% chance of survival.

Were isolated for four days.

No one knew what happened.

My phone rang constantly.

Everyone wanted to know how he was.

Not many people survive such an operation.

Had finally achieved a good relationship with this man

.

And the possibility of no return was

definitely something you have to get used to.

But I wanted to,

I wanted him to be in my life.

We will not lose someone like him.

I would not want to lose a guy like him.

Not know what would happen if you lose or not.

- After surgery, was accompanied by the bed

- When he opened his eyes, in his stupor, was looking for someone

more

It was really...

I was very sorry for him because the only one who was there was I

- His assistant paid.

You expect to go through a experiemcia

and the person next to you is

... Your life partner.

But I was.

He must have felt so alone.

His recovery was miraculous.

He took the time to deepen

yourself and heal.

I've spent my life doing

famous people.

But I've never seen in unhealthy fame.

Survive it is difficult

and has no value in itself.

I love what I did, I would not change what I've done in my life

-

- but should have been less

artists and achieved greater intimacy.

I was lucky to find a family

later in life

- But not developed a family.

I was part of the family life of Alice,

but I had my own, I had no time.

I'll say it again, I do not think it's coincidence:

First was the healthy food and then blew his ass.

- Shep's friends are her real family.

- Is more than a friend, like a brother.

I have told Shep -

- Things I have not told anyone.

Not even my wife.

I would give him a big kiss on the mouth, is a great guy

His laughter is legendary, as choking

When laughs barking like a seal.

Shep is the nicest person I've ever met.

I've never heard him say anything unkind about

anyone.

But he is not...

What is the word? Boring.

- She loves to make people happy.

- He taught me to be grateful.

And not to complain so much, when in fact

're damn lucky.

've Always wanted a baby.

But I have not given up.

Perhaps still a little inside me.
