I went with Heather to the grocery store on Saturday, which is a treat, because I'm normally parked at home for fear I'll buy an $11 cheese or some imported Italian meat...and Heather's been feeling bad lately because she just had a root canal, and on Thursday she had her wisdom teeth out, so she's not eating either, which is doubly tough on her...I walked up behind her in the aisle, and wrapped my arm around her waist and just pulled her close. I felt the urge to, and she melted into me, and snuggled into me for a second right there in the middle of the store, and that unexpected moment of intimacy, in public no less, made my heart suddenly melt. I felt it burst open and gush everywhere, and one tear ran down my cheek. I pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head while another tear sneaked out, and then it was over, but that one moment of overwhelming love has stuck with me since Saturday.
Even now, writing this, I want to cry again, the feeling of joy is so strong.
