I picked you up at AMTRAK in Davis, and I got to watch you walk out of the train and find your way to the parking lot. It's always a weird moment, you know, when you're waiting for someone and you see them far off before they see you. I got to watch you step off the train, get your bearings and then make your way. You were chatting it up with a friend and you looked very relaxed and at ease with yourself. You had a cute new BYU t-shirt on, an indication that you had a good time and were still hanging on to the weekend.
I was relieved to see you looking good, happy and in one piece. I was glad your were coming home to me. I was appreciative that you took care of Maddy, babied her a little, and got the sense of how well she is doing. I was thankful that my partner is so capable of doing anything for our family - like this little assignment. Sure it was fun, but how hard would it be if we couldn't rely on each other for that kind of thing?
I'm grateful for you today. You handed me a towel as I got out of the shower, gave me a quick kiss and suggested a healthy breakfast. You're exactly who you are - no phony baloney, and I LOVE who you are. You are calm, peaceful, good, honest and a welcome and needed fixture of goodness in my life that I need to come home to. I am a rich man for having you in my life, and I am the luckiest man in the world.
