HUGS Come in many forms. Always special. It's been a year of meaningful hugs. Hugs from friends new friends ,helpers,old friends and special friends. I treasure every one of them. I've reached a point where I can categorise hugs but nothing like the categories inflicted on the flooded and misplaced. No, my categories all fall in to the messaging category, our embraces pass on the love and compassion and wonderful connection that needs no words. Today I had one of the best and worst hugs. A friend and colleague called to say he was travelling down the path to an end.He had tests that confirmed things were not good.And he is so young. What followed was a good kiwi chat and a hug that was supreme when it comes to hugs.Strong,long and hard hitting in the chest. A hug that will last forever in that category.One of those memories indelibly printed in the brain. Contrast such a hug with a group hug a few days earlier with the A team.Well not really a team but two exceptional young ladies that are full of warmth and understanding. These were happy hugs that will come again as we travel down the repair path. More hugs to come.
