I have had 4 really overwhelming hugs in my life. I have had lots of good ones but these 4 were the kind that you compare the others to.
1. We were at a mutual friends house and I was leaving the next day for a week. The more that I think about it now it was the most amazing hug I had ever had at the time but the other 3 make it just another fading memory. I cared a lot about him. It was a really important situation at the time but really means nothing now.
2. I was on the beach in Santa Monica and I remember kinda laying back on my elbows resting and listening for an airplane to fly over head. We were having a bon fire on the beach near LAX. I was really sad and feeling kinda lonely. I was going to miss all the people I had met and the people whom I had grown closest to that I probably wouldn’t see again. I looked in my note book from that summer to see what I had written about this hug and here is what it said..." Then later on, he came up to me...gave me one of those hugs that makes you feel safe and said 'move to south carolina'. I hadnt had a hung like that in a year (reference to hug #1). It was such an amazing thing even though Im sure it meant nothing".
3. We had been friends for a really long time and shared some really special memories. I started to really like this kid and wanted to be around him all the time. We were spending the weekend together with our different groups. I was in one group going one way and he was in another group going another way. We would bump into each other from time to time and I would get so excited. I remember being so happy when he was around. I was walking one way and he was walking toward me going the other. We hugged and talked and laughed for a few minutes and I knew right then that I loved him.
4. We were spending our last night all together. He was tall and thin and had the best smile from any other person I have ever met. Really. We spent a lot of time playing frisbee and listening to music and doing whatever else there was to do. He liked to rock climb and hike. He was really goofy and the first time I met him he was trying to be funny while we were playing a game of pool and fell over this bench that was behind him. I thought It was so funny, he told me later that he was really embarrassed. The last night before he left there were lots of people in his room. I went in to say goodbye but couldnt find him in the sea of people. I looked everywhere then asked his friend Josh where he was. He said that he was busy packing and hanging out with some other people. I decided I would just head back up stairs. I walked out of the room and right then heard him laughing. He said something about being right back. I waited in the hall way. I thought I could wait a few minutes and casually start walking toward the elevator once he left the room and pretend we just happened to cross paths. I waited a minute or so then heard him say he would be right back again. I started walking slowly down the hall and heard him say, Hey! I turned around and started kind of run walking. He picked me up and sort of swung me from left to right. While I was being swung I said "I dont even know you and Im going to miss you like crazy" he said, "Thats because you have a good heart"
That last hug was really important to me. I miss all of these people. Some a lot more than others. Hugs are really special to me.
