We all need to be held and touched. When I was single it was tough at times. I joined some groups and as a lot of us were singles when we'd meet we'd greet each other with hugs. It sure helped. I learned to get my " fix" from friends and if I didn't get at least one hug per week I sure noticed the difference. I bought a teddy bear to hug also. My teddy was always there. ((((((hugs))))))
