Love Letter #1: Laughter

I love our laughter. It’s a special kind of joy that reaffirms your sense that everything is as it should be in that moment. You are understood and embraced and uplifted and loved. You are right where you belong.

Together we explore the absurdities of the universe and excavate the English language for all its witticism. The back-and-forth of concatenated silliness crescendos into a symphonic eruption.  Often found hunched over and wheezing, it is a hard fought victory for either of us to catch our breath in between guffaws. 

I am an extremely silly person, though this is often masked by my shyness. Jaylen’s sense of humor beautifully complements each and every one of my sensibilities. He could easily reduce me to a fit of laughter on the floor before anyone could ask, “What’s up with her??”

Something about his presence unlocks my truest self. I could write thousands of pages and not even scratch the surface of my gratitude for him as a partner.
