I recently learned how to hug. I hug a lot. In fact, I hug everyone I met. I still remember you said the distance tricked us, and hugging makes us close and closer... that hugging is the best cure. Hugging makes me happy. Hugging you makes me happy! Total emotional lift when I had a bad day. 

Average person need four hugs a day for survival, eight for maintenance, and twelve for growth. Scientist say that hugging is a form of communication because it can say things you don't have words for. You make things simple, you've made my life simpler. Thank you for blessing me much more than I deserve. I love you.

I thought I would never see you again, that you were out of my life." Rick follows her and takes her in his arms. He presses her tight to him. "The day you left, if you knew what I went through! If you knew how much I loved you, how much I still love you!"
