Wondering if I had hugged or touched a certain child at all that day since she's so independent and doesn't seem to need it. I remember someone once saying we all need 14 hugs per day. Yikes, if that's true, my oldest four are in trouble! I'm trying to do better at that, too.Celeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04958942308350578991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-28526607847156118142012-02-22T13:43:26.028-06:002012-02-22T13:43:26.028-06:00When my son was little I remember recording all of...When my son was little I remember recording all of his firsts, but I never remembered his lasts...the last time he sat on my lap, the last time we cuddled and read a book together, the last time he asked me to tie his shoes. It seems we are always striving to get them independent, we forget to linger.<br /><br />Thank you for the reminder, I am going over to hug my oldest daughter right now!maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08445627869939756060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-3279545564790201552012-02-21T18:33:20.343-06:002012-02-21T18:33:20.343-06:00Wow!

This makes me think about my own children and my lack of affection toward the older ones. It is so easy to just get caught up in caring for the newest born and forget the needs of the other children around us. This brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. Thanks for the reminder to show affection to them all no matter the age.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094608986510073448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-24120823567400582322012-02-20T22:56:49.855-06:002012-02-20T22:56:49.855-06:00Thanks for sharing this.

Of my oldest girls, one comes to me for hugs more than another because she is just more physically affectionate than her sister, but I need to remember to be the one to reach out and hug my other sweet girl too! Thanks for the reminder that they all need a mother's loving touch.Renee Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314425833301505303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036528759304766052.post-5054463945541588162012-02-20T13:41:22.896-06:002012-02-20T13:41:22.896-06:00Very true, I appreciate this reminder!Very true, I appreciate this reminder!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308727694732131495noreply@blogger.com
