Happiness

Sitting in the most mundane attire in front of the TV, I felt my husband's eyes on me. I turned to look at him: his expression was soft and gentle.
"I want to grow old with you."
Not that I hadn't known this for sure for quite some time now, not the least of the evidence being the sparkling ring on my finger, his words seemed to tingle as my heart felt warm and expanded as the feeling spread through the rest of my body. It was like in that moment I really understood what he was saying - with my heart.
Having the opportunity to be able to hear someone you love so deeply say this with such affection is overwhelming.

This is happiness.
