I've had some pleasant dreams about him the last few weeks. I guess that's a sign I'm finally starting to heal.

A friend called a little while ago to check on how I was. He calls every year without fail.

I'm feeling kind of melancholy folks. Could I have some hugs?
I can offer you a warm clasp around the shoulders; one of my traits (or is it my faults?) is that I don't respond well to being hugged by a complete stranger.
Thanks for this!
