I'm doin' fi-i-i-i-ine on Cloud Nine

I just got a hug from one of the most beautiful girls I have ever known!

She’s leaving the company today, and we had a going-away party for her. Everyone wrote a message on the back of a paper flower, and they were all arranged on a poster board. I put something special on mine. Later, she was in her office, reading them. I walked by to go to the kitchen, and she called me to come in, and she got up and thanked me, told me how sweet I am, and gave me a real, full-body hug. And she cried a little bit.

The married man in me is going, “well, that was nice.”

The teenage boy in me is going, “Yesssssssssssss!”

She’s so nice.

:: sigh ::

Bless your heart. Love is wonderful, isn’t it? Goodbye hugs at the workplace can be some of the most bittersweet. Oh, don’t I know it…

Don’t we know it. And then you start to wonder…
