“So this is him, huh?” I asked God while gazing up at my husband’s sweet, sleeping face.

Nestled warm in the crook of his armpit, my chin on his chest.

“Yep. What do you think?”

I hesitated. “He’s not what I imagined.”

“I know,” he replied, smirking.

I followed up. “He’s better.”

“I know.” His smirk getting smirkier.

“I wish I deserved him.”

“I wish you didn’t think that.”

“…I wish that, too.”

We both grew quiet.

My husband stirred.

“How long will we love each other?”

“You know I can’t tell you that.”

I pondered. “I hope it’s forever.”

He smiled again.

“You know, I used to think I’d never have this,” I said, tearing up.

Tears welled up in his eyes too.

“I know.”

I paused to greet the old sadness, then shook it away and gently swept my hand along my husband’s cheek.

Knowing the love I felt, God said, “You know, you have a beautiful heart.”
