And all at once I found myself saying as tears flowed, 'That's me. That's me.' And those simple words brought back many thoughts that I had had before, about the fusion of our souls into one higher-level entity, about the fact that at the core of both our souls lay our identical hopes and dreams for our children, about the notion that those hopes were not separate or distinct hopes, but were just one hope, one clear thing that defined us both, that welded us into a unit -- the kind of unit I had but dimly imagined before being married and having children.
I odjednom sam shvatio da govorim kako su suze tekle, 'To sam ja. To sam ja.' I te jednostavne riječi dovele su nazad mnoge misli koje sam imao prije, o spajanju naših duša u jedan viši entitet, o činjenici da u srži naših obiju duša leže naše identične nade i snovi za našu djecu, o ideji da te nade nisu odvojene ili različite, nego su samo jedna nada, jedna jasna stvar koja definira nas oboje, koja nas je spojila u cjelinu -- vrsta cjeline koju sam maglovito zamislio prije nego što sam se oženio i imao djecu.
