What I needed


Her: Hey baby, how you doin' today?

Me: Fine, thank you and you

Her: Blessed. Yes, yes...I am blessed

Me: That is really good to hear

Her: Let me give you a hug. I likes to share my love.


And then she hugged me and pulled apart from me, looked me in my eyes and hugged me again. I don't know her name, had never seen her face but I am glad that she came when she did. It was most amazing how she singled me out. She couldn't have known what she would do for my spirit and the everlasting joy that she would provide me with.


I may have even held onto her a little bit longer than I should have. There in her arms, I felt safe and innocent again. I was a child accepting the random love from a random grandma. She wasn't my grandmother, but I wouldn't mind if she was. I would have even accepted a kiss on the cheek or a soft pat on the knee.


How good it must feel to rest always in those arms!


Thanks for the Hug!

Peace Bliss! For a moment, I thought you were talkin bout my granny! A good hug is a beautiful thing when you really need it, especially when you don't know that's what you need!
Peace
