quem me conhece bastante sabe o quanto eu amo abraços , tenho-os como se fosse um estoque e gosto de gasta-los só em quem é realmente importante.

After tree days of painting i can see what it's gonna be ... the ultimate hug, octopus hugging.

Luke is smiling under there too. I think.

I stood by the airport shuttle bus for three hours, waiting for a cute couple to have to say goodbye. No this is not a good angle, and the lighting was terrible. There is no special color schemes either. I kept this picture and am posting it becuase of the story that likely comes with this hug. No I did not ask where she was going or why he had to say goodbye and not just see you later. I felt some connection present, due to myself having gone through the same proccess.

I wish it didn't have to be a goodbye. I said the word 'goodbye' to people who I shouldn't have. To some it was actually a goodbye, maybe becuase things would never be the same or I wouldnt' see them until they were totally different people, changed by the world.

This picture meant a lot to take and I want to say sorry to them for having to take this is so creepy of a fashion.

This is an old photo of Eleanor and her fabulous nanny, Katie. Eleanor owed Katie some major hugs for all the poopy diapers she'd had to change that day.

I love hugs, esp outside on a sunny day during my fav class: study hall!

Hugging a preggo girl is hard I've realized. Which is why they look so awkward
