Last night

I got my first real armsspontaniouslyflungaroundmyneck hug. She pressed her cheek against my face with her skinny arms flung over my shoulders and my heart melted into a puddle in her hand. Had she asked me for a pony right at that moment I have no doubt that we'd be off pony shopping today.

I've gotten oodles of hugs consisting of her laying her head on me but never with actual arms involved.

There have been many happy tears in my household this week.
