On laughter

Dear One,
You've managed it again, so many times now in fact that I am forced to conclude this is actually a beautiful aspect of your specific DNA as opposed to a learned or forced effort on your part. Getting us all up and going this morning, when they are screaming and I am whinny to the point of petulance, takes some doing. And you did it with humor and patience that still baffles me as I look back at it. And you were right. It did help. Getting in the sun and skiing down the snow covered peaks with child-giggles erupting, from the actual children as well... it was everything you said it would be. As usual. So much fun in fact that I can't even be as annoyed as I should be over your rising "right" quotient. You're right a lot. Lucky me to be married to you. :)

Not that there weren't sticky patches, a fussy toddler and a crashing 4 year old off and on, but without fail you again and again you use your unique combination of humor and brute strength to pick us all back up and get us going the right direction again. Physically and mentally, until we are all have a blazing good time again. And when you laugh yourself- oh my. It is a BOOMING sound. Startling, and funny, and contagious even beyond our little group, and it remains my most favorite sound on Earth.

Thank you for being our champion and super-hero and Knight.

Love,
me
