KH often tells us "Daddy / Mommy, I need my daily dose of hug!" and she just comes and hugs us and asks us to give her "a proper hug." Isn't that just adorable?
The mythologist Joseph Campbell once said,
"I don't believe people are looking for the meaning of life
as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive."
I think there is profound truth in this insight.
For a parent, one of the most ordinary yet most profound experiences of being alive is precisely when one is hugged or when one hugs one's dear child.
I savour and cherish this!
