sitting in my car at a stop sign on my way to school, i saw a father walk his pre-teen son out to the bus stop at the end of their driveway. i watched as father and son turned towards each other and embraced full-on into an uninhibited mutual hug. thought about this boy, and his father, heading off to begin each of their days, with everything they could possibly need.
I have a present for you, but I need to borrow your arms for wrapping paper. ~Author Unknown
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Hugs are priceless and we can never get too many. They simply never go out of style.

The picture you have on this post is spectacular. The quote about the need for someone’s arms a wrapping paper. But what I wanted to say was that I have a twelve year old girl who decided many yeears ago that she wants a hug a different times: in the morning when she wakes up, in the middle of the afternoon; in the evening, and … anytime she is sad. Its amazing what a hug is about. Good post. T

I watched a mother tickle her young daughter while in line at the grocery store. Many giggles, tickling, and hugs ensued, and then they paid their bill and were off to other adventures. I smiled for a long time afterwards.
