It's official.......the last of the chicks have left the nest! The last hugs have been given and Christmas 2005 is officially closed and in the picture books.

The last hugs are always the sweetest....

The last hugs are promises of future hello's.

The last hugs are reminders of shared memories.

The last hugs are the brain's picture taking mechanism in four dimensions......sight, sound, smell, and physical touch.

The last hugs are salty reminders of time too quickly past.

The last hugs are the heart's longings to hold on "just a bit longer" and empty arms prolonging the last goodbye.
