“My dad kept giving me "love pats." Love pats are soft punches of encouragement that are administered on the knee, shoulder, and arm.”
“Is this a good time to pat your shoulder?”
“She pulls away, pats me on the shoulder with three mini-pats, like those used to pet reptiles.”
“He pulls me over the railing and against his chest, gathering me into his arms, easing an arm under my knees. I press my face into his shoulder, and there is a sudden, hollow silence.”
“Quietly...softly, God taps on our tense shoulders with His love.”
