I picked him up from work and we came home. I busied myself in the kitchen while he unwound and caught up on what had happened on the Internets during the day. I set the table and laid out dinner, which all turned out well. While we were enjoying it and talking something dawned on me that transformed my experience. I realized that this was one of those times that in future I would look back on as a rare and wonderful moment of perfect intimacy, peace, and enjoyment together. Through some unknowable grace, I could see the timeless divine light shining through each moment. We finished dinner and being the wonderful man that he his, Doug did all the dishes while I stretched out on the couch.
Dear gods, if I have served you well, when my last night on Earth comes, somehow let it be that night again. That's all I need.

Yes! Yes to all of that! We should all be so lucky as to have such perfect moments, and I wish that we all be so lucky as to be able maintain those perfect moments and stretch them out into a lifetime.
Hugs to both of you.
