I glanced over at the alarm clock, which read 5:30AM.  It was still a half hour before the alarm would sound.  Rolling over, I saw my wife’s face.  Peaceful.  At rest.  Sound asleep.  Strangely surrounded by a soft light.

Considering she was still asleep, the glow could not be coming from her cell phone.  A bit confused.  Still too tired to figure it out.  I allowed myself to appreciate the moment.  Consider how  very blessed I am.  There beside me was a beautiful, talented, smart, uberfit, and loving woman.  An understanding wife and a caring mother.  All mine.  My love.  Turning back over, I was thankful for the glow.  It had allowed me to see her well before the morning light.  It helped remind me that I was a lucky man.  A lucky man, who would now smile for the next thirty minutes, as I awaited the alarm clock’s morning hello.
