Transcript: I wish you were here. If  you were, I’d be running right at you to give you the biggest of hugs. I really want to give you a hug, but, well, there’s a problem -  I am here and you are there. Way over there. The precise distance isn’t too important, I suppose, because you could be 6 feet away right now and that wouldn’t cut it. That’s not hugging distance. I can wave across the sidewalk, across the states, across the whole damn world. But I don’t want to just wave. I want to hug you.  So I guess I’ll just have to make do. Consider this a little audio hug. A smile. An embrace The feeling of warmth. The expression of friendship.  But most importantly, you being here with me. Someday you’ll be here with me.
