AWTR Show #933: The Bear and the Hug

AWN Command Team 0 Comments , , ,

It has been a hard few years for families, and this new author wanted to create a tale that would resonate with children confused by COVID, long distance, and periods of military deployment when hugs aren’t an option. So a Military spouse published a fairytale Bear book to help families with difficult conversations. The book is about hope, bravery, and love – there is always hope and sometimes you have to continue to be brave for love.

In The Bear and The Hug, Bear ventures out of his cave after a long sleep to find the world outside is not how he left it. Instead of greeting him with open arms, Bear’s friends keep their distance. With help from his friends, he learns that bravery and hope are what are required to save hugs.

As I write this my son woke up at 3 am and is now refusing to go back to sleep. Of course, I planned on driving to a waterpark today, so why wouldn’t he wake up early? To handle this, I brought him into my bed and put the TV on because “Deployment Rules”.

It’s been over two months since my husband, Chris, deployed and I’ve entered what I like to call “Deployment Rules”. No, I’m not saying deployment is awesome. I’m saying, I now give myself leeway when we have a tough day, which is more often than I care to admit.
