I am a world class hugger. My grandsons still hug. I think that's pretty neat.

it's odd.......

my dad and I never hugged, never really shared any "I love you's" or anything, but I never once doubted his love for me, nor, do I think did he ever doubt mine for him.......I guess neither one of us needed that from the other.

I have one son, out of the 5 that is like that, the rest of them need hugs. I'm more than willing to give them too.

not sure what the point of this was, other than to give us something else to talk about for a few pages maybe? lol
 
I grew up in a family where there was no physical demonstration of love. Met the Princess who is very much a hugger/cuddler - I readily converted.

Our son is not a hugger - daughter is .

I remember sometime in my 30's telling my Dad, "I want you to know that I love you." He nodded his head and a tear ran down his cheek. I remember this as if it happened yesterday. He died shortly after this.

I was a big hugger and all that when the kids were younger.
Now I'm not but two of my kids are..... My oldest son and my daughter.... I should get over it. But for some reason once they left home and i quit giving them every day i just lost the desire. Think I'll work on that.

I can give them when they are wanted, or not......either way, but doesn't change the way I feel......except with the babies and grand babies......they get them even if they don't want them.
 
I also grew up in a family where there wasn't a lot of hugging and cuddles. Somehow I ended up a hugger though, but my boys never have been. Hoping they grow into them at some point, sure be nice to get one from them once in a while.

Sour, your Dad story and mine are similar. Dad loved us but never was one for displays. When he told me he had a terminal illness and there wasn't hope for more time together, I told Dad I loved him. He told me he loved me too and said he was sorry he hadn't ever told me before. That was the last time I saw my Dad alive but it's a memory I'll always cherish...to hear him say out loud he loved me.

So hug your family (even, or maybe, especially the ones that don't hug back) hug your friends and tell them how much they mean to you while you can.

(Whew, this is way too serious for this time of morning...bring back the woggles, lol.)

eta: Sorry sour, for a sec there I confused you and TK.

My family is Italian, so hugs and kisses are mandatory. But my dad wasn't one to say I Love You very often either. The last few weeks of his life, I made sure to tell him every time we parted, and same with my mother. It was actually kinda awkward, in a way, because it wasn't "normal" for us. But there couldn't have been truer words spoken.
