“Even though we may be surrounded by loved ones, kids and spouses, and chat and tweet with buddies whose little faces pop up on our phone 24/7, it is imperative, for me at least, to hug my friends, to see their smiles light up a room in person, and to tell them face to face that I love them and I need them.
I’d be willing to bet that you need and would love that too.”

This is my story but I have a sneaky suspicion it’s not only my story.
This is new from me, on Philly’s NPR affiliate WHYY’s Newsworks blog.
