Give a Loving Embrace

Oh one of my favorite things to do with my children is to snuggle - just hold them while we watch our favorite movie or show, or while we read, or while we talk.  As they are getting older, I find that these are the times I'm missing the most. We just don't snuggle anymore - sure we watch TV together, talk, sing, and even still read, but we aren't snuggled together like we did when they were smaller.

Now that I have teenagers, I have to wonder if the days of snuggling with my kids are long gone and that makes me sad, very sad.

I know that my kids love me and I know that they know that I love them.  In fact, we still give hugs and kisses, as we are an affectionate bunch, and we always say "I love you!"  My most favorite thing to say to Drew these days is "I need a proper hug" from the movie The Blindside. 

This ring reminds me of those loving embraces I give and receive from my family - Craig, our kids, my mom and dad, sister and brother.  Notice how the pearl seems to be receiving "a proper hug" from the CZ hearts?  Simply stunning, and such a wonderful reminder for us all! May we all continue to give those we love a hug whenever we can!
