There  are so many types of hugs. The catch you by surprise hug, the quiet sneaky hug from the back as someone nuzzles your neck, the I-am-rushing-but-i-still have-time-for-a-quick hug, the tight hug of welcome, the even tighter hug of parting, the early morning hug, the tight hug of the night, the welcome-i-am-so-glad-to-see-you-again hug. the rushing into arms like a child hug, the I am with you hug, the hear-my-heartbeat hug, the I-will-never-leave-you hug, the hey-i-suddenly realised- how much-i-love-you hug, the god-i-missed you-like-crazy hug, the it-is-ok-to-cry hug, the I-am-so-proud-of-you hug, the I-will-hug-you -so tight-that-you-will-be breathless hug, the I-am-never-letting-you-go hug, the slow teasing hug, the anticipation of the hug to come, ...

Hugs.

We need them all.
