My dad loves his hugs from me he says he needs them and misses them when im not there (this was a while ago when he was able to talk more) i wasn't sure what i could do but then it occured to me that when i feel low and lonely i find hugging my teddy bear helps ( bit weird at 37 years of age but thats me ... weird) but dad was never 'into' teddy bears so after doing some thinking thought that a cushion would be appropriate, didn't take me long to find a suitable one,sat opposite me on my arm chair is a cushion i bought that says on it '' all you need is love,love is all you need'' it's got a red heart on it, i bought cuz i love the Beatles (influenced by my dads love of them) I sewed his name on it and took it for him to see what he thought of it. Well the result has been fab, everyday i see him he's hugging the cusion, he put's it down when im there and hugs me so tight and im sureis smiling inside,then when i leave i remind him to hold his cusion cuz ive filled it back up with hugs from me. I leave watching him hug it as tight as he was me.
I just thought i'd share that in case anyone else struggled with leaving their loved ones feeling alone and in need of a hug...
