This morning I heard the most wonderful peal of laughter from the dining room.

Riley had just run across the room and leaped gracefully into the bed he sleeps in while he and M. work. The laughter belonged to M. and it was such a pure and joyful sound.

I’ve met a number of M.’s friends recently. All comment on how happy he seems and how glad they are to see him so happy.

I’m glad, too.

I should note that Riley only does that graceful leap for M.
