"There's something in a simple hug that always warms the heart. It welcomes us back home and makes it easier to part. A hug's a way to share the joy, and the sad times we go through, or just a way for friends to say they like you because you're you. Hugs are meant for anyone for whom we really care. From your Grandma to your neighbor, or a cuddly teddy bear. A hug is an amazing thing--it's just the perfect way to show the love we're feeling but can't find the words to say. It's funny how a little hug makes everyone feel good; in every place and language, it's always understood. And hugs don't need new equipment, special batteries or parts--just open up your arms and open up your heart."
