Undying gratitude and a hug if we ever cross paths. Sadly, the technology doesn't currently exist that would allow me to ship hugs affordably. My apologies for the inconvenience, but check out this scientific data about hugs and tell me the risk isn't worth it: "The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But researchers have discovered that when a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The reason is that a sincere hug produces a hormone called "oxytocin," also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits in our physical and mental health. It helps us relax, feel safe and calms our fears and anxiety. This wonderful effect is offered free of charge every time we have a person in our arms, cradle a child, cherish a dog or cat, dance with our partner, sit close to someone or just hold the shoulders of a friend."
