Holy s***, I actually got an unsolicited hug this morning (not that I've been soliciting them anyway)! I was about to take S out to put him in the bus for school, and W gave him a hug and kiss, turned to me while we were telling each other to have a good day, and even though her hands were full (she hates hugging while her hands are full), she leaned in and gave me a pretty decent hug (10 seconds or so).
I'm not planning a vow renewal over this, obviously, but dang it felt good to embrace my W!!
I understand that's only a drop in the bucket (which may or may not have a hole in it), but I'll celebrate the small successes!
