Enjoy this excerpt from Bonnie's contribution to the anthology:

                     Master of the Sneaky Hug

I’m the mother of a two year old boy.  He’s energetic, curious, and very busy. He has no time for long Mommy hugs. Sometimes, I get down on the floor and wrestle with him. He thinks I’m wrestling; but I’m actually hugging him.

Moms are masters of the sneaky hug.

Whenever I tie my son’s shoes I sit him on my lap. It’s harder to get his shoes done up when we sit this way, but it’s a good excuse to put my arms around him. Every night before bed I read my son a book. Ben makes horsy noises and points to objects on the page: a ball, a kitty, a barn. I thrill to his progress and encourage him with each page, but it is the closeness of this child that makes me dizzy with joy.

It’s this joy that sustains me in the worst of days.
