There's nothing that makes the sun come out like your 2.5 year old daughter getting one step down the porch, pausing as if she's forgotten something, then turning around to run back to you, wrapping her little arms around both of your legs and shoving her face in, right above the knees, for those full-body hugs she gets when you bend over to wrap your arms around her in return. The little upturned-face goodbye kiss is wonderful, as well.
I think this happens to parents/people a lot, and we always think the physical aspect of it is the most important part, right? The hugs, the kisses.
After this morning, I think it's the moment of remembering, that matters, the pause when they realize they must not leave without giving you a hug goodbye. That is just awesome, that moment.
