I love telling this story... A while ago I was at Cape Town International Airport, dropping off my godchild-nephew for a flight up country. He's 28 years old, big built and quite tall. He said goodbye, gave me a hug and went off to catch his flight. As I stood there watching him proceed through customs to board the plane, a man came up to me and said, "I watched you say goodbye to that young man. Your son? Is he always affectionate like that?"
My nephew, I explained, and told him yes. And the man looked sad and said, "Do you know what I would give if just one of my sons ever did that to me?"
"Why wait?" I said; "Do it to them first."
Go on... hug somebody you love right now!
