I didn't have a choice, basically - it was a now or never thing - just before she moved out of state, I asked for a hug, and was able to ask because I knew it was my last chance. Thankfully she agreed that it would be okay because she was moving, and I got my hug at my last in-person appointment. I haven't seen her in person for 2 years, we've been doing phone appointments ever since. (When I stop and think about it, I am so amazed that even 1300 miles apart, I still feel so deeply connected to her.)
