Oh, this makes me feel good and happy. Air hugs. Fabulous. I have a neighbor friend who doesn't cook or bake much (her 50-year-old son has cerebral palsy in a wheelchair, and her husband died nine years ago) so I always take them food. It doesn't require any effort on my part other than packing up the goods and walking or driving up the road. I always bring Cooper even though he's not an official therapy dog, he brings her so much joy. But the best part is when she hugs me with thanks. I know how much my simple gesture means to her and also, to me.

This is wonderful! The little things change the world, I do believe. My husband and I call it "selfish giving" -- the reciprocal joy is addictive! Go you!
