"Blankie"

(Written Permission Pending)

Who has never accidentally fallen asleep watching TV? or been lying in bed, chilled but too tired to get up to find an extra blanket? Maybe it was after work. Or maybe you were sick. Or maybe watching something like the Superbowl together you doze off after a long, hard day. Then, someone special, either your mom, spouse, roommate, your teenager, or the point is someone noticed you resting there in need something. It is like Mom's warm and sustaining chicken noodle soup. They showed empathy, and you were not invisible.

Someone decided you looked cold, and their act changed a blanket's identity to: "Blankie." Gently pulled up and over your shoulders (maybe that someone took even more time to find an extra layer) even as an adult Blankie represents security... 

Blankie also represents warmth, comfort, attention... Sniff... for various reasons that idea brings touched tears to my eyes.

That act, pure and simple (especially when one-and-only performs the Blankie act, which Huggy has done many times) shouts quietly (because it's not nice to awaken someone in need of sleep): i love you.
