Hug me, if you love me

One of those things that life, well 7 year olds can teach you!!! Sometimes a single second in life can teach you lessons worth a lifetime. At a phase when I thought I have done it all and have experienced life to the fullest and I can't be better........she breaks the bubble with just a whooosshhh of 6 simple words. And for once my tongue couldn't churn out a response.  It broke the entire line up of the so called sacrifices of motherhood to bring up this kid. And I recalled learning - Communication is what others understand! Maybe thats what they meant when people say - 'You speak the same language as me'. I realised how people in general are so different and it again took me back to another learning - ' Some like to see, some like to hear, some like to see, some like to smell, while others like to taste'. Yes guys, am talking about the five senses and how, in a person one can dominate over the others and thats primarily how we give and receive communication. My 7 year old obviously had to feel my hug to know I love her. Aren't we all 7 year olds in our mind. Love obviously has an expression and this expression is different for each of us. Maybe we need to let those we love know how we would like to receive the expression of love. If a 7 year old can, so can we :)
