I have a sahabat who would often end her emails to me with a "Nor, pls give your mom a hug for me because I no longer have a mother to hug. Thx, dear." That line tugged on my heartstrings even though I received an email from her every now and then.
I came from a family where hugs are rare...well, until I got married. heh. I have to admit, I don’t hug my dad and there was once or twice he hugged me (once was on my wedding day..I cant remember the other one)....it’s just the way that we were brought up. Ever since I moved to Bishan, my mom would hug me everytime it's time for me to go. I wish that I’ve shown my parents more of my affection. Nowadays, she gives Aisyah more hugs instead of me though. :P
For those that have not hugged anyone, it’s not too late to start it with your parents, your siblings, your wife/hubby, your kids, your friends, your pet...and the list goes on. Now, why are you still staring at the screen?
