The other day, I had a great conversation with a friend about the power of loving touch, after which I happened upon this amazing story about a mother who brought her baby back to life by holding him and lovingly caressing him. While telling my husband about it, he mentioned how much he loves it when I take the time to rub his back. He said that nothing in the whole world feels better to him, but that he understands that my work keeps me too busy to do that every day, at which point my heart just about broke. While doing great work is important to me, it’s certainly not more important than loving that man well. We’d all be wise to make time every day to show those we care about how much they mean to us in the ways that most make them feel loved.
