Two Is Better Than One

I actually remember very vividly the way Andy looked when I saw him for the first time. We had agreed to meet for dinner at Applebee's. He was already there when I got there. I walked in to the restaurant and his back was to me. He was putting his name on the waiting list. When he heard the door open he turned around.

The image that is ingrained in my mind is the huge grin that spread across his face when he realized it was me. We'd only seen pictures of each other up until then. It's an image that I go back to time and time again whenever I'm having a rough day. It never fails to make me smile knowing that that is the same smile I will see when I get home that day. It's a smile that makes everything better.
