It was fascinating. I was reminiscing about cuddling my wife last night when I realized how important the "unspoken affection" is. I come from a family who laughs, plays, pesters, pokes, hugs, cat piles and is generally fun. Our love is shown in word, deed, and physical contact (i.e. hug or gut punch there's a huge variety, *memory swooshing into mind* the time I stabbed Nate's leg with a pencil.... *grin*) I'm innocent!
Anyway, my wife comes from a split background. Her mother was loving and affectionate. Her dad apparently, when she was young, couldn't give a hug if he tried. *don't try to think how that's possible it's an exaggeration anyway*(that's my disclaimer if either of them read this) When I first met Heather, I gave her a hug. She latter recalled she was SO uncomfortable she stood there like a hotdog and just bared through the experience. (either that or I'm a sucky hugger.... but I don't believe it because I've been told otherwise.) Obviously since then much has changed. Heather isn't a total touchy person but is quite a sucker for some TLC once and a while. I realized buy being with her how important just a simple loving touch is and the power of a truly devoted kiss. If you haven't tenderly hugged a loved one today, do it. More importantly mean it. Although it's unspoken your wordless love will speak volumes to those who receive it. So make it good.

Sucky hugger? Isn't that an oxymoron? Kinda like "humble man?"
