What Money Cannot Buy

Going to sleep listening to the rain on the roof and waking up to a gorgeous sunny day the next morning.


Catching falling leaves in your hands during Fall, and snowflakes during Winter.


When someone tells you your one of the most important people in their lives.


When someone prepares your meal or drink just the way you like it without even asking you, because they remembered from last time.


Those deliberate cuddles or hugs that make you feel better no matter what's going on.


Not touching your cheek for as long as possible so the goodbye kiss lasts.


When someone special looks you in the eyes and smiles.


That one cute little text-message that gives your mood a HUGE boost when you needed it most.


When your girlfriend or wife loves wearing one of your old shirts around the house.


Someone telling you you've lost weight.


When I check my lunchbox and my mom packed TWO snacks.


When someone names their kid after you.


Being able to tell a friend all the things that are bothering you and have them listen to all of it without interrupting you or judging you.


When someone is paying attention to your story enough that, if the conversation is interrupted, that person tells you to continue.


Smiling at a stranger and having a smile returned.


When you give someone a gift and you see them still using it a year later.


Getting in line just a few short minutes before it gets really long.


Having the exact change to pay for something.


Hugs that warm your heart.
