[/caption]The Radio-a-Thon for Make-A-Wish was today and it was, once again, completely and totally amazing. Made me feel a part of something bigger. (Plus I talked to Susan on the phone for almost an hour during the ride, that always gives me a buzz.) There is just such a tremendous feeling in a room filled with people working together to make dreams come true. Magical. (Thanks to Cynthia and her sleuthing skills, you can see my interview at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxzZMpIGHdQ&feature=share. You may find the video entertaining as I remind myself of a Saturday Night Live skit.)
You know how Ellie loved hugs? So much so that she opened an internet store to "sell" (for free) huggle snuggles. All different kinds of hugs. A running hug, a hand held hug, a four-armed hug. Recently I've noticed how when people give me a hug now, it is for real. Not a fake, "A" shaped, half hearted affair. Instead, a full bodied, authentic hug with feeling. You know, the kind where it feels as if time actually stands still. I imagine if we were in a movie (which I like to) that the music would swell. What a totally appropriate way to honor the memory of Ellie.
