Talk Like a Pirate Day by Naomi Brooks & Angelia Sparrow
This is a very sweet but very sad story.David and Robin are long time lovers and they are pretty good together. Recently Robin had an heart attack and a subsequent heart surgery and he is no more the same. He is limited in his actions and in his day-to-day life, but David loves him so much, he is doing all the possible to keep him health and good. He looks after him, on what he eats and does.
They are spending a weekend in their lake cottage, and decide to play the role of pirate Captain and his cabin boy. Even if Robin is the elder and healthier, he is the one who plays the role of the cabin boy: always ready to "serve" his captain, always happy to bring him joy.
David knows that every day he snatches to the fate is a day more he is lucky to have. Every morning he wakes up, he thanks to have another day, and every night he sleeps off, he prays for a day more.
You could really feel the love between these two men, and you really feel David's pain and joy, and in the end you know you have to be happy for the day like David, since this is probably a couple that will not have the chance to age together.

Re: Oh, dear
Another struck. Awestruck, another "struck" word.
You may be on to something here. I love your Italian English. I don't have any English Italian. In your honor, because you've made me think this morning, we are going to have spaghetti for dinner tonight!
Hugs,
Irene
