These “hug videos” get me EVERY time—I simply cannot watch them without crying. I think it’s so interesting to watch people’s responses–some throw themselves into the hug with complete abandon, while others appear very tentative, nervous even. I was raised in a family of BIG huggers, so I love them, but I know they make some uncomfortable. Sweet, sweet video, as others have noted, but also a bit sad. This video on the subject remains my favorite…http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vr3x_RRJdd4
WLS – I was in tears as soon as I saw where this was going…I think hugging is curative, loving, accepting, nurturing, understanding, giving – and delicious. Yes, me and Leo Buscaglia. Why do we hesitate? Why would we deny ourselves? Happy Hugs, m
I am a big hugger. They are therapeutic and healing. Yet, there are people who close themselves, turn their bodies so the hug doesn’t feel right. In a good hug, the bodies fit together perfectly. Its true connection. I cried watching this, too. It saddens me to think of the underlying feelings some might have that result in them remaining distant.
Hugs to you, David. I’m a little disturb that I did not receive any of your post today from WP. I normally zero in on your post to get my daily intake of smiles. I found you. 😛
Sweet. And a little sad?

Why do we hesitate? Some of us are simply wired differently. Certainly not better. Just different….
