The Hug

The Hug.

I was sent to a place at a very young time in my life. Believe me, it was not very nice. I was sent to this one building and saw a girl stricken with blindness and having no legs searching the floor. Do you really want to hear any more? I came to find out that she was searching the floor for someone that she could hold, care for, and love, but I was the only one there who cared. She grabbed my leg and held on tight. It was not a pretty sight, but it made her happy and made her day. Just that one little hug. Now I'm an old man, and I understand why that girl searched for someone to hold, hug, and touch. You see, I am that girl now. What we take for granted is that one little hug a person searches their whole life for every day.
