Today is Global Hug Your Kids Day and also Perfect Family Day. The two seem to go together to me. If there is lots of hugging going on in your family, it's likely to be a perfect family. Now I'm not going to claim that I grew up in an absolutely perfect family. If a perfect family depends on beautiful clothes, a fancy house, nice cars then we were not perfect. But, if a perfect family is one that hugs a lot, cheers you on when you do well, comforts you after a bad day at school, and loves you no matter what; if it's a family where loud voices mean you're laughing with, not yelling at each other, and thoughtful conversation is commonplace, then yes, I grew up in a practically perfect family. I certainly hope my children feel the same way.
