To What are you Clinging?

To what are you clinging?  I see it every day.  Children cling to their moms as they are being escorted to their classroom at school.  The little ones don't want mama to leave.  That separation is so hard, especially for moms. :)

There are times when children cling to my legs.  It's like Velcro that sticks.

And then the children find one another and cling to each other.

According to the dictionary, cling is defined as:

1. to adhere closely; stick to
2. to hold tight, as by grasping and embracing; cleave
3. to be or remain close
4. to remain attached, as to an idea, hope, memory, etc
