A
woman named Michelle Nichols started this holiday after suddenly
losing her eight-year-old son to brain cancer. She is excited that
people all over the U.S. and, recently, world, are aware of her
goal—that every kid get a hug from a parent or other caregiver.
And
it's not just about today. Nichols is hoping that parents and
caregivers will hug their kids EVERY day.
Some
people say, hey, it's not just about kids. Let's all hug each
other—parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins, sisters
and brothers, friends!
I
say, it's not just about hugs. We can try to extend kindness and love
to our friends and family every day, in all sorts of ways.
You
can check out Nichols's Hug Your Kids website here.
Celebrate!
Obviously,
you can celebrate the day by hugging your friends and loved ones. But
you can also send a hug (or two) through the mail, join author Jez Alborough's Hug Club, or make a soda hug.

When we found our sensibility, we began experiencing the working environment.
