    For some reason MySQL stopped. I restarted it and it's fine.

      It is a failing on my part as a parent if love is denied to my children. However, as VAIO Blue is in Afganistan, don't know if that is his country of birth, but cultures/religion may forbid tenderness between parent and child especially if VAIO Blue was brought up under Taliban rule ?

        Maybe because of the culture, or we really aren't that close, I never in my life hug my father once.

        I don't recall ever hugging my birth father either. I have hugged my ex-step father (long story). I don't know much about your culture, but if you think not hugging him is a problem then I'd wager it's best to not waste any more time. :)

            That sounds familiar. I'd be willing to bet our long stories are similar :).

              You're probably right. It's crazy to think, and I don't have kids yet, but if I do I've already sworn to myself they'll never have to go through what I did.

                I should have put it as whatever peaceful way that floats one's boat should work. Maybe to some it would be a day on the golf course or on a chartered fishing boat :)

                  Yeack! My dad always wanted a hug, give a kiss, and let me tell you I'm more than a little scarred from that memory. Yuck! The hug would've been alright if he wasn't a wrestler always trying to convert the hug to a take down and submission hold. But really, some love is good from a distance. Yeck, I still got this childhood memory of his mustache and it grosses me out every time.

                  This statement is false.

                      Well I certainly agree if your kids don't like it find a way to express acceptance to them that they do like. When my son is 17 and comes home with his friends I doubt I'll be hugging him right in front of them (you never know but I doubt it). It's an idea more than an act. I just want to make sure that I show in some way that my kids are *it* for me. That my *best* thoughts are for them. You have an excellent point though.:-D

                        Yeah, the hugs weren't that bad. For the first two seconds. After that its just plain freaky. Depending on the situation of course; if a loved one passed away then I'd consider that moment and probably feel different about it. Dunno... I think I need another beer now. :^) :sigh: `8)~
