Day 74: He gave me a hug, arms around my neck and face pressed to mine (for the first time of his own accord). That was for Christmas Eve. This morning, he laid on my chest before we got out of bed, content and purring like a donkey engine to wish me a merry Merry Christmas. This, my friends, is what Christmas is about: love in its many forms. It cannot exist without being shared, so get out there. Stimulate some oxytocin in your family and friends! And don't forget the little people: the companions in our lives, and the ones outside our doors. As it is sung in "The Muppet Christmas Carol," "It is the season of the heart / a special time of caring / the ways of love made clear. / And it is the season of the spirit / the lesson if we hear it / is make it last all year."
