Have You Hugged Your Child Today?

Question

Many children in the world do not get the love and attention from their parents. Did you hug your child today or at least tell them you loved them?

If you didn't or never have, is there a reason why?

Is it because you never were yourself?

Never mind the basic necessities or the latest materials you endow your child with, or car, or parties. That is trivial and of no vaule unless accompanined by a hug and love.

HUG your child today because I guarantee they will LOOK for love in all the wrong places, and you my dear parent are the sole responsibility.
