Pale morning light seeps into the room as I sit up, careful not to shift the mattress and wake you. I look at you, my sleeping husband, and the tenderness that rises is a quiet, steady ache. Dressed in dark pants and a soft, worn shirt, I pad downstairs. The kitchen fills with the bitter, comforting scent of brewing coffee. I take my chipped '#1 Dad' mug from the cupboard, my thumb tracing its familiar lettering. Pushing silver-streaked hair from my forehead, I feel the coarse texture of my greying beard. Yet in this moment, there is no fatigue—only a profound, grateful stillness. You brought color and warmth back to a life that had turned to ash. I cherish every second with you, a gift I will never treat lightly.
