It’s coming home from a day spent with an old friend to find out the tub has been unclogged—and cleaned. It’s stopping in the middle of wrestling a stubborn new sink to install a pendant light just because you know it will make me happy. It’s finding my favorite beer in the fridge after working several 12- and 13-hour days in a row. It’s holding my hand and patting my leg because there’s nothing really that can be said to make it better, but knowing the sadness is understood helps somehow. It’s scrapping moves and reworking plans and settling for smaller, safer changes until things calm down, and knowing that even if things never calm down, you are there for me and it will still be OK.
It’s the little things that are the big things, and you do them right.

Well said, and isn’t it nice to know you are so lucky?
