Happy Days Are Here Again

Forget happy pills, all I need is Robert.

We picked him up from the airport yesterday (he'll be here for the next three days for Quinn's birthday - today - and baptism - Thursday) and I haven't stopped smiling.

I'm so happy that after so many years, we've finally arrived at a place where we have considerably more good days than bad; a place where I am happy to call him my husband and he genuinely makes every day better just by existing.

Of course, his existing somewhere where I can actually touch him is a big plus!
