Hubilance
n.
the quiet poignance of your own responsibility for someone, with a mix of pride and fear and love and humility—feeling a baby fall asleep on your chest, or driving at night surrounded by loved ones fast asleep, who trust you implicitly with their lives—a responsibility that wasn’t talked about or assigned to you, it was assumed to be yours without question.
From hub, the central part of the wheel that bears the weight + jubilance. Pronounced “hyoo-buh- luhns.”
