Never to Love
“my mom gushed when I emerged from the car. She acted as if she hadn’t seen me in years instead of weeks. Engulfing me in a hug, I wrapped my arms around her long enough for it not to be awkward, but also not awkwardly long.
Growing up, I received hugs from my mother on a regular basis, but after witnessing interactions between my classmates and their parents, ours didn’t seem natural. After a while, I noticed they occurred on a loose schedule and seemed more like a requirement than a sign of af...fection. I don’t think Mom realized it, though. From what I gathered, she had grown up the same way, which is why she never thought it was strange.
When I was about twenty, we got into an argument about something stupid, and I foolishly pointed it out. Now, it seemed she was trying to make up for lost time. If I had a choice, I’d go back to the perfunctory hugs that accompanied “hello” and “goodbye.”
As expected, I found my father camped out in his chair across from the TV. “Hey, J.J.,”MoreLess
