i notice most people use these blogs to post an opinion. i instead choose to tell a story.ONCE UPON A TIME...just kidding...my story is about something i learnt...back in april of 1989, my father passed away, very unexpected. it was very hard for me to handle, as i was the only girl[4 brothers] i was always daddy's "little princess"[even after i grew up] i worked at the time in retail. i remember a very stressful time was the first fathers day coming up, unfortunately i was working in automotive, sporting goods, hardware and, home improvement, these of course are prime areas for buying dad his gift. i was helping others select a gift for someone, that i knew all i could ever give him now, were flowers or an ornament on his grave.adding to this particular day, i had just been cussed out by a customer, because we were out of something in particular they wanted[ anyone who works in this line will tell you, we hear alot of bad things on a daily basis]. i was to the point of needing to find a place to cry, when all of a sudden a little boy comes up and puts his arms around me. my first reaction was to pull back, as he was just tall enough, that when he did it he was in a awkward area, and i didn't want passers by to think the wrong thing.i found it rather difficult to break his hold on me. just then a woman came up[his mom] she said "don't pull away from him. he saw you were sad and wanted to hug you." i looked down into his eyes and he said " i want to share my happy with you! you hug me and i will take away your sad" what else could i do. i gave him a big hug back.and you know what i did feel better! from that day on i've always felt that a simple hug...a simple, totally inexpensive[only costs the use of a few muscles] can be the most precious of all gifts to give to someone. to think a little child knew something that most adults have no clue about. i have found over the years it really is a great gift. so if i give you a hug, it's because i truely believe in them, they help heal, show someone you care,that your there for them,or just want to hug them for the heck of it! think i'm done with my story, so here"s a hug from me
