Beautiful. I could see this whole thing playing out in my mind! I'm also laughing to myself, as I sit here and reflect on my own feelings about touch -- and how yesterday, I told JeeWoo, numerous times, "Please stop touching me." "Okay! I've had enough touch!!" But also -- how much I LOVE when we hug or when he sits right next to me...like pressing his WHOLE side of his body on me while watching a show or when I'm attempting to sleep next to him.
I was also reminded, when I read, "When it comes to touch, a split second is enough for a memory," of the first time he touched me and how much it meant to me. It was during our second meeting with him before we had even gone to court before waiting and waiting for custody. While taking a quick pic of us, he reached out and touched my forehead. It was the most meaningful moment that I will NEVER forget!!!!! Sent it to you. :)
Thank you for this beautiful opportunity in reflection this morning! And please don't feel like you have to reply in the same caliber that I just did. I'm sure this is overwhelming to receive this. ;)

I’m so glad this resonated, Brit! I love to imagine this moment with JeeWoo—thanks for sharing it. ❤️
