I woke up randomly at 5:23 AM for some strange reason. I literally looked at the clock and said out loud ‘why am I awake?”. I had my answer about 30 seconds later. My phone went off with a text message. Without even looking at the phone, I knew it was her. My soulmate. In tune. An early morning moment. We would go on to spend the entire day together, and as I look to my left, there she is reading our daughter a bedtime story by Dr Seuss. Beautiful. It was an amazingly unexpected day, and I guess that is where the beauty lies. We can just pick up together, yet its all different now. Its not the same, and we still haven’t reached the level romantically but that is not the point. Its about building, not necessarily rebuilding. Its a slow steady process, but with days like these, its hard to complain. Its a sunflower field with the twilight streaming through the stalks, and a wonderful little girl jumping into a woman’s arms care free and happy. That is life. That is family. And that is true happiness.
Dear friends in Estonian – head jaanipäeva!
