A Paper Hug
Memorial Day is soon upon us, and as you may imagine, it has a fresh & heightened significance to our family this year. With this in mind, this book caught my eye ... and heart. It is a story about a child whose father is being deployed. The boy wishes to give his father something of himself to make the separation more tolerable, so he traces his hands, measures the distance from one hand to his other hand and cuts a piece of yarn that length. He sees it as a "paper hug." Anytime his Dad feels lonely, he just has to wrap the paper hug around himself and feel his son's love.
The child center where I work has agreed to share this project. We are making paper hugs and sending them to a unit about to deploy ... to any soldier who wants one, as many as we can make.

i've noticed that people make expressions when no one's around. they'd recieve bad news and their face would scrunch up, or they'd do some facial expressions. or when somebody makes a mistake, they would loook around to see if anyone say them do it. and this makes me think, why would people have expressions? it's a way to interact with other people. people talk to express ideas and thoughts, that's what our voice is for. and so's the same as expressions. we make hand gestures and would talk using our faces. quirks of hte eyebrows, smiles, frowns. emotions come from inside, yet they how outside, which means we WANT people to know how we're feeling. i just thought that was interesting.
on a semi-related note, music. it's the expression of the soul. music is meant to be heard. we practice singing to prepare to sing to others. music is played for people. so, music is a social interaction.
i want someone to jam with. acoustic guitar jammin.
