Man, wouldn't it be nice to have hug buddies at our disposal! Sad comment on our society that sex buddies are more common than hug buddies! It reminds me of when someone looks into your eyes and says totally earnestly, "How are you?" and you burst into tears, because no one ever stops to really ask, who wants to really hear. Today, let's offer a hug and a sincere "How are you?" to someone, anyone. Spread the love. Dr. Jenn's last blog post..Smart Tips for Long-Distance Online Dating

I am a new reader and this post has me hooked! Thank you for putting to words what I have been feeling too much lately. It is at least nice to realize others are feeling many of the same things I am. Thank you for sharing! Abby's last blog post..Or once every six months, but who's counting

I tried to explain to a friend the other day that there is a difference between being horny and being physically lonely. I couldn't think of any other way to describe it. Horny I can take care of...may not be the same and sometimes leaves you feeling lonelier but it's different from wanting to be held and just wanting to "be" with someone. Wish I were closer...if you're ever in Atlanta there's hugs-a-plenty waiting for you. Thank you for opening up and sharing the way you do...I've found such peace and comfort in reading other single parent blogs! Barb's last blog post..Reality Sets In

I think I miss those type of hugs the most. Honestly speaking, 'being strong' for my 12 y.o. son takes its toll and sometimes the need to collapse into a partner's loving, supportive embrace is palpable. A great post and one that brought tears to my eyes immediately. Thanks. Barry Morris's last blog post..The Economist Survey of Obama v. McCain

This was a great post. I am just now getting a chance to play catchup from a crazy busy week at my office. And I just got a mile long email from a good friend that is tiffed at me...blah blah blah and so I am now one of those that could use a hug right about now.... and my kids just left with their dad! And so it goes.... Katherine (SOLO dot MOM)'s last blog post..Bedtime Puppies... from Youtube.com

That is a beautiful story. It actually inspired me and made me feel like I got an adult hug too. Thank you so much for sharing this on a low day of mine.
