Curiously enough, it was the likeness of a prehistoric creature that made a special memory for us. We had not hugged our beloved 10-year-old granddaughter, Sophie, during all the mounting months of the pandemic. But her sealed, inflated Halloween costume enabled both of us to give her a loving, COVID-safe squeeze!
That will have to do it for hugs for now, but it was an unexpected blessing. And love, we know, triumphs even when hugs are only virtual.
