Your hug sounds really nice, Bether. When my T and I hug, it can be quick or long, but I always feel they are comforting, no matter the length. We do sideways hugs sometimes, and other times, facing-each-other hugs. It seems like they are longer when our sharing has been more emotional or deeper, or I need more comfort/reassurance/love, etc. They seem to always match the situation.
