It comes easily to me when I love someone, but it isn't something I'll easily give away or expect outside of a very close bond. I'm not criticizing, just sharing my own reaction.

It was a little strange at first. This was almost a phenomenon after 9/11 here in NYC. Eventually it stopped. I still carry it because I realized just how dear my friendships were. Even now I realize that I don't do it as often as I used to, JustJess and Quadro don't hear it as often as they should. But those friendships that have remained tight via phone due to distance get it at the end of each call.
