POLSON — A woman, to whom I delivered a meal, appeared to be caring for a 4- or 5-year-old child. As I did so, the child, unseen by me, bolted to the sidewalk, yelling “Huggy, Huggy, Huggy!” and grabbed both my legs. I told the child that I always have hugs to give away, and I complied with her request. She ran quickly back into the house, without comment. Grandma smiled as I turned away and got in my car. We have a lot to learn from children and they have a lot to learn from us. Hug someone who offers it.
