hug

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Nichinan, 2008.12.23

I was sick today, and had to go to the hospital for a saline drip. When I got home, I guess I looked pretty ragged, because little Kenny gave me a hug to comfort me. He reached up when I came in, and when I picked him up he threw his arms around me and gave me a squeeze.

It was the only time he's done so. He hugs his little friends, and hugs female relatives, but is pretty macho with his dad. Unless his dad looks like he's been puking his fluids away for the past day!

rand()m quote

A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery
