Sometimes, a hug is all what we need...

I saw this Free Hug from my friend's blog, actually i watched this clip a year back, forwarded by a friend of mine named Steven and he was thinking if can organize a free hug session in sunway college it's even better *lols*, and accidentally i found clip again, just feel like to share with you guys whom reading my blog.. or maybe no one reading it *sweat* if you're reading it I'm desperate of some comment!!!

How all it starts:

I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.

Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.

So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.

And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.

Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.

I would like to suggest you can spend sometime on the comment, and see how to brighten a person's day by offering free hugs...
