  1. … for the easy way my wife laughs.
  2. … for time spent exploring the desert with my girls, finding sedimentary rocks, rabbit spore, and old golf balls.
  3. … for cherished childhood memories that have grown iconic with age and forgetfulness.
  4. … for windy, sunny days with titanic clouds full of dignity.
  5. … that I am not alone.
