A smile when you step through the door
A hug when you head back out
Mercy when you don’t deserve it
An embrace when you really need it
Someone who will pray for you
Someone who will tell you no
A friend to share the better moments
A partner to ride out the lesser ones
Laughter, affection, home
Warmth, surprise, support
Kind words, wise words, funny words
Hard words, soft words, sweet words
Welcome indulgence
Necessary resistance
Encouragement
Astounding intelligence and aptitude
A capacity for the new, the hard, the challenging
Love, joy, peace
