Goodbye Hug

When my younger son leaves school, he often gives his bestie a big embrace. It's wonderful to see such exuberant, unfiltered affection. It's just so pure and so mutual, and it gives me great hope that he will find joy in his life.

"Even more than we want good love for ourselves, we want it for our children, those vulnerable satellites of our hearts that we send, unsteady, into the world."
