Hug the people you love & hold them close! 🤗 My family has always been the “I love you” at the end of every phone call kind-of-family and you will be Bear-Hugged every time we see one another family! My grandparents made sure of it and have been a HUGE reason for why we, as a family, have operated in that kind of love my whole life! This year I have realized the importance of this kind of LOVE more than ever... The last time I saw my Grandma, after already giving her a hug goodbye ☺️, I felt the need to run after my grandparents in the driveway to give them a second bear hug. (A very Minnesota-thing-to-do...🥰) When I hugged my Grandma, I held her longer the second time. I gave her a few kisses on her cheek, told her how much I loved her, squeezed her again and told her, “I’ll always be your pumpkin, Grandma!” She replied very enthusiastically, “Yes, you will!” with a big Grandma Cleone giggle! I don’t know how to explain it, outside of God and the love I have for my grandparents, but I knew I needed to hug them again! To give them more love, hugs, & kisses! It’s a habit I have picked up even more so because I live out in California ☀️ So when I see my family, I soak them up! I take every opportunity to hug them, love on them, and to tell them how special they are and what they mean to me! 💓 If I could encourage you to start doing one thing, it would be to bear hug your loved ones and tell them how much you love them...EVERY time! You will never regret that extra hug, kiss, or “I Love You”...☺️💞 I promise!
