Hugged my daughter on Easter.
Son not into hugging at the moment.
Dad is two thousand miles away. Tough to hug, but call about once a week.

Love to hug him just once more time because would never let him go.
Know we will meet again.

Thanks for posting.

Very moving.


Only just been getting back into it with my parents
after a few absent years. I think I need to visit.

Wish I had done more...........

Boudreaux Bob 22nd Apr 2014 15:11

One of my biggest regrets is not doing it nearly as much as I could have.....and should have.:(

Got three kids - all grown up

Daughter very non-tactile - accepts a light peck on the cheek on arriving and departing - that's the limit.

Her twin brother much more touchy-feely and will hug.

Older son will mainly restrict himself to a firm manly handshake!

Get on very well with all three of them, so I dont feel pressured into a lot of hugging - its not for all families

Daughter, 31 will hug at all opportunities. Son, 33 will hug on arrival/departure. Parents long gone but can't remember much hugging stuff. I think it was a generation thing.

I know I didn't hug him enough.

"Have you laughed at YOUR children today?"

Rodney Dangerfield ( "Caddyshack" etc.)

Boudreaux Bob 22nd Apr 2014 16:48

I would think laughing "with" them would be a better thing! IMHO!

Wish I could!
Both parents died 20ish years ago in my mid 20s due to cancer. Regret them not seeing me get my wings, get married, have 3 beautiful kiddiewinks (in that order). Still gets me down at times!!

I doubt if you would appreciate much else of Rodney Dangerfield's satire then. :)

Didn't we see that video back in February?

Range Rat 22nd Apr 2014 19:23

At 81 I hug him every chance I get. The hug back is brill.:):):)

What an absolutely brilliant and moving tale. That young man puts to rest all the crap and dismissive put downs our society generally throws at young people. I hug my girls every day - whatever live throws at them they will know that they are loved, just as my parents loved me. I must admit, at times I must have made it hard for them to do so but that is the special grace that parents know I guess.

Hugging you can't get enough.....
 
My son and I were especially close and used to hug and kiss on arrival and departure......I cherished every second with the lad he was a credit to the human race....
Unfortunately and tragically killed in a Jag in Alaska...:{:{:{

My daughter through no fault of her own was nothing like him and I am still waiting for the signs to say that she accepts me for who I am but that will be a very long wait...her loss I'm afraid...

Wander00 22nd Apr 2014 22:52

My Dad loved me dearly, but could not hug, nor even say "well done" when I got my wings. However, I praise my sons at every opportunity, and hug them too, which due to distance is not often enough

Do You Hug Your Father?
To quote a USMC Lt Col - "Hell no, that's Hollywood crud!"

LJ :ok:
