It is not often I get caught off guard by cute things Jayme does, she is sweet always and never misses a beat with being the best partner for me. This morning however I felt that special flood of feels and was surprised.

Last night I couldn’t sleep, I was up coughing so I went to the other bedroom, I still struggled but eventually got to bed. I was groggy and was running behind. So that means no lunch, or coffee for sure. But the first sound I hear is of the peculating pot filling slowly. Jayme made me coffee, got my lunch together and wanted to make sure I had a “good start to the week. Because, important”. A pot of coffee and a salad were much more then just things, they were a transformative power. They were love, support, kindness, and everything other emotion that got me though today. This is only but an example of Jayme’s ability to focus on what is important. She makes sure I see my friends, that we visit with family, that we enjoy our life now and that we plan for the future.

It has been 74 posts and tens of thousands of words written that have gotten me to where I am today. Less than two weeks from a proposal. two weeks from the rest of my life. I used to fixate so much on that moment, making it perfect, you know… because, important. But after today I have realized, that one moment is not important on its own, it is the collection of all of them. The story of a life is not in snapshots but in memories in motion. Our story will not be a highlight real of “the best hits” but will be the entirety of our time, all the moments, small and big. There is nothing to leave out because, everyday is important.
