Hey now, you got my eyes all watery. Sometime in my late 20s I found that I was getting less hugs. I had grown up and my parents weren't sure when they should hug me any more. So I've made sure that I give big ole hugs when coming and going. And about that time I started saying I love you as I ended phone conversations.

My parents were at first really awkward with that. That hadn't been their way to communicate. But I've done it so much that it's just normal now. My brothers had to get used to it too. All of which to say I've never gotten too bigs for hugs. Good reminder!

One of the things I treasure most, is that My 33 and 31 year old kids hug me big hugs every time I see them. Those hugs are the best hugs, reaching back in time.
