@Mmindy you are soooo right about needing a hug sometimes.  It's amazing how the warmth of an embrace can be relaxing and fulfilling.

My mother's side of the family has always been a hugging family. From oldest to youngest. If you were at a family gathering, you walked around to everyone and got a loving hug. When anyone started to leave it was like running the gauntlet receiving hugs goodby from everyone again. I still hug my son when I see him, even at the firehouse where he's the Boss.

 

Warmest of Hugs to you.

That's funny. My parents basically didn't touch me from age three to today. Everybody in my family is like that. No casual touching.

 

I like to be touched. A lot. Lasting trauma from that though. I don't know how to initiate in adulthood but I crave human contact.

 

There are days when I wonder if I'd have any personality at all without the tragic backstory. I'm like Doctor Doofenshmirtz. Which I spelled right on my first try. Go me!

 

Hugs!

Hugs weren't part of my past and rarely even now.

See? I'm working to change that. It's not right. People NEED to be touched.

 

Hugs!

Jackie, my all time favorite hug is from my Best Friend & Kidney Recipient. He's a big manly man and West Point Grad. I'm not out to him yet, but when he hugs me he grabs me in his arms, leans back, picking me up off my feet. The tells me he loves me. (In a Blood Brother sort of way). He doesn't embrace another person like that at all. He one arm bro hugs everyone else in his family.

 

I hope you find the circle of hugs you want.

I prefer hugs from my lesbian friends, but I get where you're coming from. To each their own.

 

Hugs!
