That brought back a memory for me too. I remember on Sunday mornings, Dad would still be in bed and call out..."Janet Darlene and her sewing machine" (I know corny, but not much else rythms..LOL) and then he would yell for my brother..."Bradley Eugene and his freckle machine" (can you guess why he was called that?) and then Brad and I would go jump in bed with Daddy and get tickled and loved on. It was so much fun.

Okay, that made the tears fall, he's been gone now since 1973 and I miss him so much still!

I agree with the others. Lifes too short to turn down any cuddle time with your children. Enjoy it while they're willing and able. They'll outgrow that far too soon.

I still get hugs every time I see my oldest and she's almost 33! I consider myself blessed that she's so affectionate toward me. My 20 yr old will occassionally give me a hug, but my 18 yr old has a hard time getting that close anymore and she used to be my cuddlebug! So take it while it's offered... you never know what life's gonna throw at you, and those cuddle sessions are just plain good for the soul!

But what memories you have of him, Janet! My boys still kiss me when they come in and also before they leave. If either of them come to the office where I work, they always kiss me bye and say "I love you, Mama." Everybody in the office loves it!

I agree with the consensus here. They never get too old. Enjoy every minute!!! Time goes by too fast.

My daughter is turning 18 this month...She has always been a snuggle bunny!!! When My hubby (Mike) was away she always slept with me... This lasted until about 16 or so. Once she started driving she became more independant and now she sticks with hugs!!! I wouldn't put an age on this... I think it's great you all are so close!

She still wants to have movie night and shopping days so I didn't lose her altogether!!!!
