“Mommy! Daddy!” A grin splits my face in two as that little boy ditches his line, races over as best he can while wearing horns and a tail longer than he is tall. He collides with Emmett and me as the rest of our family hoots and hollers, and I sink into the feeling, this certainty that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be in this life, loving and being loved by exactly who I’m meant to. And that? That right there is a special kind of peace.
