I'm a huge fan of massages. I love getting them and I love getting them. As a pre-teen, I gave my mother hours-long massages. She'd call me into her bedroom where I'd find her laying face down on her bed in a slip. I'd rub her shoulders, arms, back, legs and feet and I'd say things like, "Tell me about your childhood." And she would. These were great bonding times between us. I didn't know what I was doing, but I kneaded and rubbed away, using my mother's happy sighs as signs for where she wanted more pressure and where I should stick around for a bit.
