I opened the email and it was your blog informing me it had been updated. I was like "Damn! Already! I just got off the phone with him like a few hours ago! This guy's fast! LOL!" I remembered that my father had a similar reaction a few days ago when I went over to visit. As I walked into the house my dad was eating dinner and as soon as he saw me he got up, walked over to me, shook my hand, gave me a hug, and said, "Ohhh...sh*t mijo...it's so good to see you...thank you for coming over...it's so good to see you..." and all the while he kept hugging me and shaking my hand. I couldn't remember the last time I was embraced like that by my father...but I liked it. I felt emotions I hadn't felt since I was a boy. All this to say, I agree with you. Despite what some may say and believe, within the very core of our being there is a deep longing to love, a deep longing to feel loved, and a deep longing to belong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3673124226982955474.post-15703771706010811312008-06-30T08:52:00.000-07:002008-06-30T08:52:00.000-07:00Hey Assad I have been reading your blog from the b...Hey Assad I have been reading your blog from the beginning...love the thought provoking questions you ask. The need for touch is something humans can not live without. Think of the babies who are healthy in everyway but fail to thrive because they were never touched or held, the results are devestating. Thanks for a good reminder, I will think about that as I go about my day today. <BR/>BTW Those are some cute kids :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
