Hugs Today
A hug is a wonderful thing. We can give them just about anywhere, at any time, and they are practically free. All that is asked from us is that we extend our arms and be willing.
For those of us with chronic pain, a hug can do many things. It can cheer us up. It can say, "I love you," or "I'll miss you, come back soon," or "I understand. I understand you have pain and know where you have been. I will be here with you and I will comfort you as best I can."
A hug to us can be the beginning of healing our hearts and souls and our pain.
