My daughter unexpectantly gave me a hug several days ago. I burst out saying "OMG I love you so much!". This hug made me feel really good compaired to how miserable I had been feeling. It was the right medicine for me. So I will say that a hug is medicine for the heart.

A hug can be a big comfort and very soothing when you're upset.

When there's a good cry deep down in my heart, a compassionate hug can bring it out into the light.

Me too. But there aren't many people I'd accept a hug from anyway.

My Husband and Daughter give Great Hugs !

I do also enjoy getting them here on PC, Sometimes it nice to feel validated and someone took the time to read my post or a response to someone else.

We all need some love.
