Hi misskitty!

My advice is to do it now and do it often.

Since I lost Eileen last year, I have many comforting memories of the 27-plus year we were married and the love we constantly showed to each other. It is a hard fact, but all too often you don't get to say a last goodbye. Life just doesn't work that way. So, get busy making up and storing those good memories now. You will never regret making the effort and those memories are something you will treasure down the years.

It's not so much a matter of hugging or saying "I love you," if those words would make the recipient (or, for that matter, you) uncomfortable. Showing them that you care enough for them to make the effort and that you value them is the important thing. BTW, once you start, it becomes easier to get into the habit!

End of advice! misskitty, please let us know how it works out for you. And my best to you and young Jack!
