Do you remember me? We are cousins. I am your Aunt Sofa's daughter. Uncle Snug was my father.

Grandmom said that when my mom (Aunt Sofa) was growing up her teachers would say that she needed to apply herself more. She was shy and didn't join in with the other kids, and she desperately needed exercise since she was always sitting alone in the corner eating chips. Her body, once slender and supple with a rosy glow, began to have a bit of extra padding on it and her skin had a sallow color to it. Some said she was getting as big as a house. Most people said she looked more like a couch.

My dad on the other hand, he was active and outgoing. People remember him and his hugs. You were guaranteed a hug, whether you liked it or not, if you were in the vicinity of my dad. And God forbid if you walked by dad while he was on the couch. Before you knew what was happening he'd pull you onto his lap and wouldn't let go,

Mom got pregnant with me and spent most of her pregnancy on the couch with her feet up, watching TV and snacking. Her labor was hard and the doctors eventually gave her a C-Section because I was so big and bulky.

When I started school I felt like I didn't fit in... literally. Those school desks with the attached seat just could not accommodate my shape. The other kids made fun of me. I asked my parents if I could be home schooled and I was so happy when they said yes, After finishing my homework i would sit on mom's lap next to my dad and and we would eat chips and hug each other.

All of that ended when that I began maturing. I looked more and more like my mom. Unfortunately by that time, my mom was definitely as big as a couch. Slowly my body morphed and with relief I realized that our shapes were vastly different. I was not as wide as her, in fact, I was about 1/3 as wide. You could say I was as small as a petite comfy chair. What a relief that was.

Dad made a shelf to put over my shoulders and placed some nicknack's on the it and there was always a nice pot of hot tea at the ready for me. Those were wonderful years.

Now they are gone and I sit here alone, with stiff arms reaching out for a hug, and hoping for company that rarely comes.

So, my Deadmore family, I am glad to be in contact again. I heard there was a family get together coming up, I would love to sit and chat with you, perhaps have some tea? Oh, did I mention I am a fantastic hugger?

I will see you there!
