    He may be removed from his home for his safety. She may be ill and separated from her family. Perhaps their home burned to the ground, or the death of a loved one has left them yearning for the closeness of a hug.

    For years the Peanuts’ character Linus and his cloud-bearing blanket have been synonymous with security.
