to actually sit down and say something about all of this (even though being married to a writer has only increased my belief in my ineptitude with words)... about YOU and me and the next one to add to our mini list of MOST FAVOURITE PERSONS IN THE WORLD. it's easy to talk about why YOU're my favourite. it's an endless list that might start off like this:
1. YOU're the silliest person i know, which means several things like the fact that i get to laugh a lot and shake my head while smiling and go from having a normal day to a great day in seconds, but best of all, it means i get to be silly too. it's permissible, and in fact recommended behavior in the face of your daily doses of hilarity.
2. YOU just brought me a cup of tea and two pieces of miso and tahini toast... right after i was thinking that it would be nice to have a cup of tea and some toast... this happened after YOU made me breakfast this morning, a healthy and tasty breakfast, for about the 5000th day in a row. i feel nourished and loved...
3. YOU're about the most selfless person i know, which is amazing, and sometimes makes me feel like i can't possibly live up to your sainthood. i've witnessed it about a million times so far... and that's just the first 10 years of our shared time this go-around... YOU might be holding two freshly baked scones that YOU've just pullled out of the oven and YOU'll briefly assess them and hand me one of the plates. if i look closely, the one on my plate might be slightly larger, or more perfectly shaped, or visibly have more apricot chunks in it... and so this is the one YOU decided i should have. this approach is used in all situations and i feel cherished...
4. this list will be LONG... and we've got time... so i'm going to add to it along the way... but it feels something like this right now... and i couldn't be happier to be welcoming a child with YOU... i hope they inherit some of these amazing qualities i've found in YOU.
