love is

returning late from work in another country, my cell phone rings.

"Good night mom, don't forget to eat a snack and have a drink of milk when you get home."

Words and sentiment that tugged at my exhausted heart strings, making me drive all that quicker, to reach her, faster.

Arrived home to my child almost but not quite already asleep in my bed, awaiting me. Tucked her in safe and planted kisses all over her. Cuddles, love, hugs and we stopped long enough to allow our breathing to sync up.

Before bed I opened the fridge and there was a note that says "Love ya".

And a coupon for a FREE HUG.

Life couldn't be any better than this.
