Can I just say...

It's lovely to sit in the memory of a wonderful evening with friends only to realize that tonight your boy comes home after being gone away for a few days and tomorrow is a day filled with family and the day after that is another day filled with family and a scrumptious spread of food and the day after that is a day just for the three of us to relax and enjoy time together.

How did I get so lucky?

P.S. The positivity of the whole thing overrides the horribly formed run-on sentence.
