I promised you to talk about our "Hugs" mission last week. When you greet someone with a simple question like "How are you ?" and s/he is suddenly in tears, you know that something has gone wrong. And we should do whatever we can big or small to make them feel better.
Since last Friday we have been giving Karen one or two small little (cute, naughty, funny) gifts everyday along with a brown-paper tag with our own decoration and our favorite quote to go with the gifts. The goal is just to make her smile, to tell her not to worry about work so she can spend as much time as she needs taking care of her family.
Today is the last day of our mission and we gave her a book called "Everything is going to be OK" which Danielle and I found at Paper Source store. Today tag doesn't contain a quote but we ask "Would you like to have lunch with the hugging crew?" (Hey, we haven't heard the answer!)
The best part for us is her smile and our own feeling after giving.
