I am not a fan of hugging, not until I got married and have a kid. I love giving my wife hugs and even our little one. Each time that the three of us will be sleeping I shout Ramos Family while hugging them and our little kid is also imitating it.
Hugs give a sense of peace and protection not only to the one who receives it, but also the one who gives.
Yes, sir @tpkidkai, I'm happy to know that you are practicing that to your family. Your little one for sure will show love to the people through hugs. God bless your family.
