The One with the Airport Hug

Airports are such strange places filled with such strange people, especially when a stranger interrupts a special goodbye just to ask if she can hug your boyfriend. Was it because he was wearing a Royals jersey? Or was it because a hug from a stranger is apparently even more special because it is from someone you don't know? Whatever the reason, that's exactly what happened just a few days ago. Even with all my travels recently in faraway places, this happened in my own local airport. Welcome to the midwest, folks.

This stranger lady went on to explain her theory of hugging and it went a little something like this... If there was more hugging in the world there would be more love in the world and it would be such a different place. Hugs from someone you don't know are more special because they are not expected and sometimes the unexpected can be exceedingly profound. 

Although I also received a hug from the stranger lady and it was an awkward experience, it was memorable and this hugging theory is not completely unwarranted. 

Happy hugging!
