A Princess…
My older son has been watching Max and Ruby lately. Yesterday, he and his cousin watched an episode where Ruby (a rabbit, if you’re not familiar with the show) and her friend dress up as princesses.
Shortly after the show was over, I gave Josiah a piggyback ride down the hall, and stopped at the wedding portrait of Athena and I kissing. I pointed at the picture on the wall, “Josiah, who is that?”
“I don’t know.”
“Yes, you do! Guess.”
“Mommy! Oh, it was Mommy’s turn pwetend be a pwincess!”
I told my wife the story, and she called me her prince.
I’m the pimply-faced kid in the above nine-year-old photo, by the way (though it’s hard to see the pimples, because I converted it to black and white — I did that intentionally).
Yeah, I’m in love!

Did you really have pimples? I can’t remember. I just know that I was watching you when my daughter and her father came down the aisle. The look on your face transfigured you beyond handsome to some level of beauty that hadn’t been invented until that moment. Love does that.
