Hug speak

I've been mulling over all the various types of hugs there are. Hugs can say so many different things. Things like: I'm sorry you're hurting, I care about what's happening in your life, I'm fond of you, I like to be with you, thank you for what you did, I'm proud of you, I'm glad you're happy and I'm happy with/for you, congratulations, good job, I wish I could fix the problem, I'm sorry I was mean, I'm going to miss you, etc.

Hugs are amazing things.

Have you ever been given a hug that made you feel completely safe, completely protected?
Ever been given a hug that made you wish you could freeze the moment and make it last forever?

Ever given a hug in place of words you couldn't speak?
Ever given a hug and prayed it wasn't the last one you could give?

Ever stepped into someone's arms and realized it felt like coming home?
