A mom hug. A full bodied, arm wrapping, nose in neck hug. A hug that means you’re home and everything is ok. You’re safe.
We could all use one right about now.
In my moment of selfish anger tonight I realized I’m exaggerating how difficult the moment is. It’s hard yes. But it’s not the end of the world. It’s not cancer. Or death. Or real tragedy. It’s life. And though I may be suffering in some way, I’m not the only one. You’re out there too having a fricking hard time.
I could use a hug but so could you. So I’m sending you one. Full bodied. Arm wrapping. Nose in neck. You’re home. Everything is ok. And you’re safe.
Thank you. Being three thousand miles away from my daughter when she’s just having one of those days. I want to jump on a plane to give her one of those hugs.
