Wow…I was very down today, missing my husband…missing being a Mrs….missing being loved, held, and touched. I have not been to this site for quite some time because I felt like, after 2 years, I was healing; I was ok. I’m not. And, it makes me angry and sad. Wish I had something positive to say, but I am just not up to it right now. So, I will simply say thank you for putting my thoughts into words.

Human touch is vital for us.. babys dont do well with out it.. and old folks and everyone inbetween need touch.. That said, I agree with you (and cracked up over) the part about spa etc treatments. not my thing altho I have had a few good massages, but they were for medical stuff… I have a back full of knotty muscles!
I have a dog that MUST be in bed, against my back, at night or I cant get to sleep! But human touch, yes, miss Chuck terrably.
