It was early morning, as I am by habit a early morning riser. I enjoy watching the sunrise every morning. Suddenly my husband was in bed with me as many times in the past. I threw my arms around him, and said "Oh, I love so much." He was young again with the beautiful physique he once had when we met, He told me that He wanted me to know that He loved me.
