J

I have a leftover bottle from a medicated shampoo which I now use for my baby shampoo. It's a 4-ounce bottle and more convenient to carry to the shower than the vat-o-shampoo I brought with me. In order to distinguish the baby shampoo from the medicated, I took a Sharpie and wrote 'J' on it (for Johnson's and Johnson's). Ordinarily, this would just be an innocuous thing, but not for me. I hadn't intended anything when I wrote that one letter, but I'm glad i did. See whenever I send my bride a card, email, or not, I don't address her as 'Julie'; instead, I simply put 'J'. So now, every morning as I collect my toiletries and walk the 87 steps to the shower, I'm reminded of home and the beautiful woman I married, the mother of my child, and future owner of a lake house.
