i said "there is a calmness about our lives now"
he said" huh?"
i said "there is a calmness, a steadiness that wasn't there before"
he said "yes"
i said " before there was drama, and anger and hurt and betrayal and too much booze and smoke, now there is a calm, a steadiness in our lives with our own house and a dog and a life and our own family, and dreams and many adventures to come"
he said "i like it better now"
i said "me too"
