I am GOOD for something! !!
Not having seen Danielle for four days because of our conflicting schedules, I finally saw her yesterday and I was delighted when she jumped into my arms and hugging me tightly declared that she had missed me soooooo much.
“I worry when you go away for so long. I thought you were dead! You were gone for three weeks! ” she said. (Concept of time issues).
“What were you worried about? ” i asked her wanting to understand her fears.
“Who would pay our rent, we will get thrown out of our house…” she said.
I was a little hurt that she thought of me only in material stuff. So i asked
“Is that all ?”
It took her a minute to think. Then with a naughty smile she said
“I guess you are good for food too!”
Long pause…
“And toys…”
Long pause…
“And hugs…”
I felt a little better. I was good for hugs.
Have you hugged the ones you love? Take a moment and hug them…
