Embrace

Tonight when I got home from work I was greeted by my two kids. Luke was happy to see me but went back to what he was doing; eating I think. Alyce on the other hand came over, I picked her up, and we gave each other a hug that lasted a minute or more. During that time she snuggled into my shoulder and relaxed. For those few seconds I felt love that only a parent and a child can have. I don't have the vocabulary to describe how it felt.

If only I could put that feeling into a bottle and save it.
