I was 21 before my father and I ever hugged. My parents had just split up, he was a broken man and though not being much comfortable with hugs myself then, and certainly not my dad, that day, we crossed a bridge. I stepped forwards and heart felt hugged him for a very long time. We never looked back. It opened new horizons for each of us, we learned to share hugs with open hearts, with each other and many others. I love hugs, they are a great gift to share.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169917392605496319.post-76538464451641565362012-08-13T17:23:45.182+01:002012-08-13T17:23:45.182+01:00Beautifully written.

Hugging is great, just do it, someone has to be the first and they might not like it to start with but that warm huggy love is the best.sidsacatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169917392605496319.post-44111664294737293522012-08-12T09:30:43.391+01:002012-08-12T09:30:43.391+01:00So Sad.

It wasn't until I was in my 30s that I made up my mind to say "I love you" whenever I spoke to my parents.I could tell they were uncomfortable at first, but they- and my sisters- started saying it too. It felt so good to hear it.<br />As for hugging, I did that too. The last time I saw my mother, I hugged he goodbye and told her I loved her. Then- just as I started to walk away, something told me to go back and hug her again, which I did. It was the last time I saw her.<br />Most people don't realize the power of that communication. I am so grateful I do. Thanks, Les, for this reminder.sandsof timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13542288360705821579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169917392605496319.post-44094159314956423612012-08-11T11:25:15.299+01:002012-08-11T11:25:15.299+01:00xxxxxxLeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15739115391051123334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3169917392605496319.post-71786890221147230552012-08-11T10:41:35.997+01:002012-08-11T10:41:35.997+01:00You are so right.
