Not a Hugger part 2
My mom died in September.
The last time I saw her was a Thursday afternoon.
I had had a great visit with her. Sitting on the edge of her bed and chatting about my half marathon on Sunday.
I was leaving for 4 days so I wouldn’t be seeing her.
I walked to the door and paused…..I thought ‘go hug her.’
Mom and I didn’t hug so it would have been awkward.
I didn’t hug her.
She died that Monday morning.
When I got to Relevant I surprised myself at how easy it was for me to hug my friends in my computer. I believe I just about knocked Cassie over at the airport when she surprised me.
Life is short. We aren’t guaranteed tomorrow. Hug those you love. Tell them you love them. Often.
I’m sorry that you didn’t hug your mom – but I would never have guessed that you weren’t a hugger at Relevant 🙂 Blessings sweet friend!
That was a draft that published grr. But thank you 🙂
oooh, I wanna hug you… again.
Amen! I think that is the one lesson I really took away from September 11th. You never know what a day could bring. Now I am adamant about telling my family “I love you” when we part. Glad to know you had a great time at Relevant! Wish I could have been there to hug you!
