Tonight

I must confess, I couldn't disagree when you said that my thing tonight sounded more fun than your thing.

On the surface, anyway.

But, love…

I would trade seeing an old favorite band of mine for watching a bunch of kids get awards any day… If it meant I got to be in the same room as you. It hardly even matters who that act is (though… man… that Eagles show a while back would have been painful to miss…).

And, gosh… Knowing that you'll probably be heading to the front of that room…

I would absolutely rather be there. I would absolutely rather see you proudly standing behind your son as he advances. I would absolutely rather see him fumble as he puts that pin on you.

That sounds like a far better show to me than any concert, no matter who the act is, no matter how much time I may have spent listening to their music.

Because it's you.

And I love you. Every aspect of you. And I will always choose you, when I can.

Ah, well… I do hope you enjoy your evening. I'm sure I'll enjoy mine, just… not as much as if I were able to sample that meat and cheese tray you'll be bringing…

And Friday will be here soon.

Not soon enough.

But soon.

With more love than could ever possibly fit into this heart,
Yours.

PS — There's going to be one song tonight, by one of the opening acts, that's going to be hard to listen to without you… Well.

I just hope I get to take you to the sea someday.

I'm sure I will. We haven't even made it to Chapter 1 yet… this is still just the preface. We'll get there. I know we will. There's nothing in this world or the next that could stop this love. Nothing.
