I love how you hum when you're working something out — it's the soundtrack of my whole settled life.

Wishing you the small luxuries: warm socks, full battery, my undivided attention.

You're my best argument for the existence of luck.

I love you in indicative, subjunctive, and whatever tense covers always.

You make me want to be the version of myself you already pretend I am.

Wishing my wife a season of soft mornings and loud, ridiculous victories.
