There are moments when you look at your other half and feel suffused by a bubble of total love (well, hopefully!). It starts in your heart, rises up and breaks somewhere around head level, normally leaving you with a dopey grin and an "ah, bless" sensation.

He has walked round the ward, eaten several regular meals, farted and passed the required amount of other substances from his person. It's fantastic!
