To hug or not to hug.
I was kidding a friend here at the old folks home telling him I was going to give him a big ole country boy hug.
Nope,won't do that,out of the question he said.
That got me thinking.
I knew my parents loved me but showing affection was something we never did.No kisses no hugs no I love you that I can remember.
It was something never done.
I know Momma was raised the same way.I've heard her brother question why they never where showed affection.
Things just run in families I guess and it gets passed down generation to generation.
Maybe a lot of family problems could be solved with more hugs,more reassuring of that you are loved.
The night Daddy died,just me and him in the room,I did something never had I done.
I hugged his neck,told him I love him and kissed him on his forehead.
He nodded his head,eyes closed he said he was sorry,sorry about what I never knew,I told him he had nothing to be sorry for.
He went into a coma and died a few hours later.
I almost waited to long to tell him I loved him.
I would not hesitate to hug him if he walked into this room right now.
By the way I did give my friend a hug this afternoon.
