Hugs

Sometimes we all just need a hug. 

When Abinadi was young he loved giving hugs.  I was thinking of this photo of Abinadi giving Dallas a hug so I decided to post it along with a couple other photos of Abinadi giving hugs and the joy they bring to the people he is hugging.

This is my favorite picture of Dallas.  The pure joy on his face makes me happy.  I imagine that the happiness in this scene is what we would see in the Spirit World now.  Dallas loves hugs.  I can't wait to give him one when I get there.  In the meantime, there are plenty of other loved ones there who can give him plenty of hugs, including Abinadi.

Abinadi giving Dad a hug in 2013.  I love this photo also because of the joy on Dad's face.  I like to think that these scenes are what we would see in the Spirit World today.  The carefree happiness and pure joy that can be found on the other side.  Seeing these pictures of loved ones that have graduated from mortality makes me think of how happy they are now.  It also makes me long to see them again.  I miss them all so much.

Abinadi giving Juliet a hug.  Even Juliet has an expression of pure joy on her face while getting a hug from Abinadi.  And she doesn't even like dogs that much.  :-)

I just love the happiness that Abinadi's hugs gave people.  I'm glad a few of the reactions were captured on camera.

There's just something about hugs that brings comfort and joy.  I can't wait till I can give hugs again.  I'm going to give all of my loved ones hugs on the other side, when I get there, including Abinadi.

If you're having a hard day or just feeling a little blue, find a loved one and give them a hug and see how much better you feel.

That's my two cents.
