I promised Jess sixty seconds, so I will spend them carefully.
Four years ago a man bought my daughter a coffee she did not want, and stayed to talk while it went cold. I have watched them since. What I have noticed is not the big days — it is that they are kinder to each other when they are tired than most people manage when they are rested.
Jess, Mike: I wish you years of ordinary Tuesdays, and the sense to notice them.
To Jess and Mike.
