Hug your children often, tightly with love.

Love is such a crucial part of raising a child, or in my case... raising three of them. You can't raise a child without love, it's the most essential of needs for all of us, if you breathe...you have that need to be loved and be regarded as important in some ones life, or if you are super love-able you are one of the lucky ones to be important to many. I hope you are the second one. Back to my simple thought for today, give your child a big warm hug today. Hold him/her in your arms and go back to the beginning of that being, the day that child came into your life and into your arms. I like to go back in time in my memories and cherish those special moments I once lived, lucky for me I had three of those times, and I am thankful for that. Never let go of that feeling, and never stop hugging.......your child might not say it but deep inside....it's much appreciated. Merry Christmas Friends!!
