Meaning
This reads as a definition of happiness grounded in being wanted and needed. It points to the ordinary shock of being welcomed by one's children, and can be taken to mean that love feels clearest when it is returned without hesitation. It lands in the private, early morning moment when family affection is not abstract but immediate.
