I'm 36 but my mom died last year and I still miss her hugs. They were so full of love. Thanks for being a great mom.

I stopped by my daughter's place tonight to say hey and see how she's doing because I knew she had a lot of stress going on lately.

The first thing she did when she saw me was come up and hug me and just hold on to me. She said all she really wanted today was a hug from me and she was so glad I stopped by without her having to ask.

I about cried because giving hugs is my job as a mom but getting the thanks for it and knowing that I'm doing something that makes her feel better is the best payment I could ever get.

I hope you know that your hugs meant just as much to your mom as her hugs meant to you.

I'm about to go to sleep but I am sending a big mom hug to you now!

Oh man this made me cry. I live across country from both my daughter and my mom. How I miss squeezing the heck out of both of them.

As someone who had a pretty shitty bio mom, I do actually understand and that's why I've become a mom to three young ladies who also had shitty moms. I jokes that I gave birth to one daughter and picked three more up on the side of the road. LOL
