Today, we woke up close and connected and it felt like the beginning of healing. After so many heavy days, today felt light. There was a calm between us. It honestly felt like we were trying again… it felt nice.

You came to meet me for lunch today! We shared Indian food in the middle of the day.. the lunch special… vegan and non vegan options we can simply share… It was just yesterday that we were laughing over tacos for dinner.

After work, we went to the pond and bathed in the sun. Nothing fancy, just a quiet company of ducks and ducklings… Then came shopping for new shorts…and then Jimmy John’s for subs and McDonald’s. I know it wasn’t some big event, but it felt new.

You deserve it… You’ve done so much. Your interview.. and also… You sent off that letter this morning, followed up, and even reviewed your grad’s thesis. You’ve earned that.

I’m grateful for today. For us.

V/r,
I
