cuddle if you can

I am sitting her in my bed. My son is gone and baby girl is all snuggled up under me sleep, legs crossed and with her sippy cup in hand. It is as if she knows that it is cold and raining outside and that this is perfect cuddling weather. With her, head on my chest and her hair in my nose, it made me smile and realize how important cuddling is as an act of unconditional love and affection.

It also made me wish that I had someone to cuddle with or wanted to cuddle with me just as much as she did. Especially on a cold and raining Saturday night in Georgia. I say all of this to make one point: for those of you who do have children, men included, snuggle and cuddle with them as much as possible and show them all of the warmth your heart can proffer. And for those of you lucky enough to have someone special in your heart that you crave and desire, then call them, ask them to come over, or call and tell them that you are coming over and that you miss their embrace and need to show them how they make you feel, before it is too late and they are gone from your life.

I will never give this up, cause right now, baby girl isn’t two years old yet, but I suspect, one day she will be too big to lay on top of me, with her hair in my nose, sleeping and clutching on to me like I am her pillow. They say it is suppose to snow down this camp sometime next week. Therefore, if you do not have anyone, use the pillows, I have six, and just keep the little ones close to you as much as you can.

I think thats sexy a man cuddling especially his seeds. Fatherhood is so sexy to me...but only if you taking care of the kids. Enjoy it while u can cuz they grow up so quickly. SOmetimes i wonder had I been cuddled when i was a young'n would I have lead a different life?

Cuddling is a wonderful thing, showing you care without speaking a word. It meets one of our hierarchy of needs, the need to be loved. Nothing feels better than the human touch. My six foot teenage daughter understands the concept of cuddling already, she is constantly jumping in my bed nestled up under me. I hold on to the moments because as soon as I blink they will be gone and she will be off to make her way in the world.

Cuddling is one of God's delicious (highly pleasing to the senses) desserts.

Cuddling is so important. My 7 month old granddaughter has reminded me of this all too well. Sometimes while she is sleeping she reaches out or kicks just to make sure that I am still there. They grow so fast. Enjoy every minute of cuddle time. It is priceless!

That's such a beautiful thing. It's such a heartwarming thing to see a father cuddle with his children, giving them the affection that they will need when they get older and face the world on their own one day.

I agree only a fool would not be able to love or spoon (that's what I call cuddling) with a man with so much passion and so much love to give. And you take care of your kids, Lord knows how you would treat your Queen.

Cuddling is one of my most favorite things in the world to do. I have five adopted children and cuddling was the way we all bonded. When they had issue that could not be put into words I would sit down and snuggle them into my arms and hold unto until it passed. My 22 yr. old still likes to climb into my lap and snuggle. Thank you for sharing such an initimate part of yourself.

Well I couldnt agree with you more!! I love to cuddle...(spooning-as you would call it) LOL!! But I feel so safe and loved during that time. I used to climb up in my grandfather's lap all of the time and he would just hold me and rub my hair until I fell asleep. I think thats why I love cuddling now!!! And I really find it very attractive when men actually desire to have their kids all over them and doesnt mind showing them that they are loved!! We need more men like you in this world!!! --Miya

I have to step my game up on the affection side T, you're driving the ladies crazy.

It will be a sincere move, but sometimes us fella's just want to hit and move, not giving any time for cuddling. That is, unless we want some.

I'll have to work towards being genuine and proffer* her all the affection she can stand.

Dah, the little wild woman is too cute. I think it's great that you can comment about cuddling, and not include something to the effect of REAL MEN DON'T.... Bravo for being a fabulous father.

I need to make my mama read this! I try to force her to cuddle with me. I was over her house and she was going to sleep and I said "let's snuggle" and she told me no and I said "yes we will" lol and she said "I better not wake up with you cuddled up behind me" LOL See....you can still be as old as I am and need to cuddle with your parent...but I understand how that could look really bad if its the daughter-father thing LOL I bet my mama wishes she'd cuddled with me now that Im a million miles away... I tell her all the time she just didnt get enough affection as a child
