Soup - for not accepting or giving hugs you sure have an accurate description of what they might mean. I'd been reading through the posts trying to think about what my hugs meant then I read your post and said - "What She Said!" - And then the reminder that the meaning is probably different for each person in the hug. Thanks.
Thanks for this!
