The small stuff...

The little things tend to overwhelm me, sometimes in good ways and sometimes in bad, but I'd like to focus on the good ones because I feel like I generally take them for granted...
Thing#3's laugh when I tickle her.
Thing#2's weird thing where he has to kiss both your cheeks like he's from England.
Those hugs where you're both holding on so tight and don't want to let go. You just stand there in silence, but it feels like the moment couldn't last long enough. Especially if you're saying goodbye for however many months and I know these hugs all too well.

Visiting places you've never been before and just being.
A long awaited reuniting.
