While I was on the plane, flying to Tucson to my cousin's wedding, I was sitting across the aisle from two adult women. They appeared to be mother and daughter. Their hair exactly matched in color and it was almost the same shade of beautiful red hair my daughter had when she was little. (Before she started dying it all the time :-) They were talking and obviously enjoyed spending time together. I could tell they loved one another and delighted in being with each other. When we got off the plane, I found myself standing in line with them waiting for our baggage. Of course, I had to make a comment about how sweet it was to see them together and that it made me miss my daughter. They asked where my daughter was and I told them she was in Cambodia for 4-6 months. The young woman turned out to be about my daughter's age. She reached over and gave me a hug and said "that's for your daughter". It brought tears to my eyes, but it made my day.
Hugs are great anteaters. Giving them and receiving them!
