Beautifully put! I couldn't agree more! You've said it all!
I was thinking about the same thing.....Mini has been the most spontaneous in hugging him to express every emotion....joy, sadness, hurt, excitement....she poured it all out in the way she'd either lean into him, wrap herself around him or just cuddle into him any which way she can....he's been like this big teddy bear to her.....Mini is a very physically affectionate person in general....she rains hugs and kisses on every person in her life from her Babes to her grandparents to her friends.
But with HS, it's been special because of the way he got used to it over time as you said....they grew into all these shades of hugs with each new phase they navigated....we were talking about this yesterday also na....the organic evolution of these hugs that showed the deepening of their equation with time....until now we reach a point where he himself asks for a hug.
It was the perfect closure to the CD incident breakdown as you said....cuz haq was fractured that day, it floundered briefly....but with this hug, that haq came back
Aww I still hope he just picks her up some day in a hug....lift her off her feet as she goes running into his arms.....they can recreate her childhood in their own way.
I would love to see that...like him picking her up the flight of stairs post the operation...it didn't feel awkward at all so the hug would be as natural
