Waking up is not always pleasant, but it can be. If every child was awakened by a loving parent or guardian and told just how valued and loved they were, imagine how they would approach their day. Snuggles was created over a nineteen-year span. My daughter always begged for me or her dad to lie down and snuggle close to her. The summer before she moved away for college, I was doing laundry, and she sent me a text message from her bed. It was one word: snuggle? I knew these special morning snuggles were going to be changing soon, so I went to her room, lay down beside her, and began, ""I love your hair; the way it sticks up in all directions after a night of sweet dreams.""
