Who amongst
us doesn’t love a nice warm embrace every now and then? Well I received a hug
from my teen son the other day and I don’t take that lightly. This is the son
who is still going through the, “I don’t want to be seen with my mom at school”
phase. And if he doesn’t do well in school, I’ve promised to show up and wave
frantically at him.
Back to the
hug episode…
It happened
on a dark icy morning, as hints of light from the garage light peeked through
my sons’ bedroom window. It was the usual time that I went in to wake him for
school. This time I whispered three magic words to him, “school is closed.”
It was with
outstretched arms that my son began his embrace. I hesitated a moment before I
went in for the hug. After all, I’ve been known to give an accidental hug (when
it wasn’t what the other person was going for).
With his
face in his pillow and morning breath seeping through his lips, my son whispered,
“Aren’t you going to hug me?”
I received
the hug and held on a few seconds longer to bask the moment. My sons’ hug was
an expression of the sheer joy he felt from learning he had yet another snow
day.
And with all
the love my son showed me on that cold winters morn, today’s feature muffin is
a strawberry- banana love muffin.
Is there a
special meaning behind a hug you received from your child?
Awww... Aiden and I love to hug each other. He DOES have his moments when he doesn't want a hug in front of his friends though. And that's fine. But more often than not, we hug. And kiss. Often!
ReplyDeleteHugs are fun.
