I’ve always been a little awkward with hugs.

Not because anything bad happened…
it just wasn’t something we did growing up.

Now that my parents and grandmother are older, they reach for hugs and I’m learning how to meet them there, even when it feels unfamiliar.

Because one thing I know for sure?
My child will grow up feeling love, not guessing it.

I’m breaking cycles in real time… and giving what I didn’t receive. 💛
