I was on the couch working on my laptop while rocking the baby in her chair with my foot, and he was at his desk typing at his computer.
There was something about his slouch, the weary yet determined posture, that triggered my brain to fast forward fifty years and I saw him in his eighties – and then it washed over me – this overwhelming feeling of contentment with my life and our future together.
