It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents' game. Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love—one that is pure and enduring (持久的). However, I never doubted my grandparents' relationship. It was based on passionate(热情的)affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.

　　But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents' life: my grandmother had breast cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that way so that she could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside. But my grandmother grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. Then one day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.

　　“Shmily.” It was written in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother's funeral bouquet (花束). As the crowd thinned and the last mourners turned to leave, Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother's coffin and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and grief, the song came: S­h­m­i­l­y: See How Much I Love You.

　　文章大意：文章讲述了结婚已逾半个世纪的祖父母，多年来，他们在日常生活中彼此间不倦地玩着一个特殊的游戏；在一个意想不到的地方写下“shmily”这个词留待对方来发现。直到很久以后祖母的葬礼上，我终于明白了他们特殊小游戏的意义SHMILY：See how much I love you(知道我有多么爱你)，那种纯洁且历久弥坚的爱。
