[size=16]International Free Hugs Day[/size]
Participants on the forum of the official Free Hugs Campaign website have decided to declare an official International Free Hugs Day. This will fall on Saturday the 7th of July this year, or more specifically on 7/7/07. The purpose of the day is to promote the Free Hugs campaign. The organisers are hoping that hundreds of people around the world will be distributing free hugs on this day.
When I first watched this video with The Boy a few months ago he said, "You know, Ma, I'd really like to do that some day." So I told him, "Hey, go for it!", and wondered if it was just a passing fancy. Just found out that last weekend, on the way to the Pride Parade with a group of kids, he made a sign. They all laughed at him. They stopped laughing, and he stopped counting, after 240+ hugs. And they all danced together in the fountains. I swear, sometimes that kid makes my heart fit to burst.
