HUG of the WEEK Collection

A collection of hugs from our fans and friends.

Jan. 6, 2010. We loved Margie Rigney's blog comments so much, it inspired us to invent the HUG of the WEEK feature.

HUG of the WEEK #3

Adapted from a Hug Your Kids fan letter

My son, Robbie, (age 21,) was killed in a work accident in 1984. Now I can only have an absent hug to reinforce your mission of Hug Your Kids.

Shared by Jeni Stepanek, mother of Mattie J.T. Steppanek, from her book "Messenger: The Legacy of Mattie J.T. Stepanek and Heartsongs"

Thank you for the hug, Mom. It really made my day.

HUG of the WEEK #1

Adapted from a fan letter

I'm getting ready for two major surgeries and one more dose of radiation. I plan on "hugging up" with my hubby and my 3 wonderful and huggable children. ..On the day of my "release" from the hospital last April, my niece organized a "hug a thon" for me. People showed up at my door to hug me at different times of the day.
