when was the last time you hugged someone?

Me? It was last week. When one of my colleague in the office mentioned about her dream the night before. She dreamed of seeing her mom. She lost her (and her dad) a couple of years earlier, I guess. She said in her dream, she slept with her mom. She said she misses her so much. And, when I turn my head, her eyes started getting wet. I asked her right away, "You miss her so much, huh?" She just nod, and tears started falling down from her eyes. Not knowing what else to do, I just hug her. Try to calm her down. Not daring to say anything, because I can only imagine her feeling, but I don't know how the feeling is exactly like. Still having both parents (which I'm so grateful for), I choose to stay in silent and hold her.

I'm sure she misses you too, Ki. But, she's in a good place now. And, so are you. =)
