A giggle from a happy memory

I was laying in bed just now as memories and thoughts were going through my brain.  I think my brain is trying to find positives as my body is experiencing pain.  I'm starting to believe it's tied to my first menstrual cycle post-op.  From what I am reading, there's a high chance of cramping and pain associated with it.  This is going to be my explanation until I figured it out.

So my memory.  I am reminded of my last night in Seattle.  He took me to a Mexican restaurant that specialized in food from Oaxaca.  I remember looking at the menu and saying excitedly that I was going to order tacos or something.  I remember looking at him and he gave me this look of "you've got to be kidding!?"  He looked at the menu again and named off a few items on the menu that were specialties of the region and the best options for me to order.  I remember I ended up ordering the tamales and OMG, they were delicious.  They weren't like tamales here since they were in banana leaves but that just  ended up being a teaching moment for him on regional culture.  Dinner was fun, followed by drinks nearby.  I remember being sad knowing that I would be leaving early in the morning but it was nice to have that night with him.

It still makes me smile because he may not know it but I've learned so much from him and I was planning to have many many more years, decades even, of learning.
