I met a wonderful intelligent man online years ago on a different blog. I did my normal sign off using hugs, and the person wrote back saying he understood why I did that but could I not do it with him as it caused him emotional / mental discomfort. I replied of course and I really do try to make sure not to do something that would make this grand person uncomfortable. The few times I slipped up and signed off when replying to him, I used hugs I was very appologetic. But he said he understood it was a mistake and not done to harm him so he was able to overlook it. I really value this person’s inclusion in my life and I wouldn’t ever want to disrespect him or anyone else. He has taught me so many important things, and I am glad he told me about how giving him virtual hugs was hurting him.
How ever I want to include that when I was expressing my abuse and crying on the post this person who finds hugs personally harmful gave me hugs to show he cared. How grand! He took the harm to help me. That is a wonderful way of showing you care.
So when I saw this image I immediately thought of him. So thank you, my friend. I did not use your name because I was not sure whether you would want me to. But for the few times I messed up and used the wrong sign off, I send you this to show I think I understand. Best wishes always.
