I just need a hug

I am sick
Stupid sickness
Could not speak nor swallow
for two days

I was put to quarantine
by my family
my man, especially
who is so afraid of sickness
just before an important work-trip
I get it

But I relised
how lucky I am
having people around me
every day
having hugs and closeness
every day
touching is so important

I get it only
when I can't get it

Almost burst to tears
when my son came to me
in the evening
just before bedtime

He said:
"Mommy
one day
when you are not sick anymore
I would like to hug you."

Uuuh,
cannot wait for this day!

I am so lucky!
