When you are hugging a child, always be the last one to let go. You never know how long they need it. ~Author Unknown
I love the above quote because I think it applies to everyone. When you’re the hug giver, you need to be aware of the hugee and how much, how long of a hug they need. I am a big hugger. I am a very affectionate person by nature. So when I need a hug like Woodstock, I need to hug you until I let go, which, may be awhile. Somehow there’s something special about a hug to me. I can re-find my strength in a hug. I can center myself when I feel hugged. I can go on after I’ve been hugged.
Hugs are so powerful.
Have you hugged yourself today?
Shine On!

I really like this! Great post. There’s also something very comforting about hugging a kid 😊
Oh yes, you are so right…and being a kid and being hugged…and being an adult and being hugged. Hugs, hugs hugs to you!

My father use to give us hugs that we called the big Bazza Bear hug and he not only did it to us but to anyone who needed it. (he was kept busy with nine children) You almost felt like you could not breathe but they were the best hugs I ever got and I miss him so. Thank you for reminding me how much he loved his kids. Happy huggy day to you. xx
Happy Huggy Day to you ~ you are loved. Just remember those wonderful Bazza Bear hugs whenever you need an extra bit of love in your day. Thanks for sharing your sweet memory here. xo
I always do, they are close to my heart.
I’m a grandmother. I’m always the last to let go…they are all, “Okay, Momo, let me go!” And then I squeeze them one more time.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting here. I am so happy for you and for your grandchildren as these are the hugs that are remembered and that matter! ♥ Have a lovely week ahead!
