I've been sick for 10 days... days of almost no human contact. 10 days of dealing with a body... (which is not who I am of course, but is most certainly part of this experience of being human) that is behaving in a very unpleasant, unpredictable, and vulnerable way.
And 10 days of no hugs... until today. Most people are worried about touching me or being near me - they don't want to "catch it" or get sick. And I can understand that. So what really surprised me was when my friend, Michael, came by to visit me at the hospital this morning and gave me a long, loving, heartfelt, tender hug. I was so grateful for the human contact... especially when I understood that I didn't even realize I needed it the most.

I got one of your hugs in the yellow envelope with the heart written on it, it was snugged underneath the pump at the Bradley's on Alameda. Thank you so much, and I love your philosophy on hugs, keep spreading that love.

P.S. I decided to put another dollar in it and leave it somewhere for another person to find, hopefully it will brighten their day like you did mine.
