The love and affection was amazing

I will put our pics in my gallery. We didn't take too many. We were so busy handing out hugs!  I have never hugged so many people in all of my life. I could not believe the love and support shared by so many people. I felt a little uneasy at first, but with Ariel and Ashlie's help, we warmed right up. So many people shared so much. We went to give hugs and spread good karma. I was just amazed at how fast it came back to us! Every person we hugged was special. I could tell it affected Ariel and Ashlie too. So much need out there. So much love. We had occasional folks run from us, or put their hands in our faces, but I would say 90% wanted hugs! I couldn't believe the love that was shared from strangers. It gave me renewed hope in mankind. I went out to help, yet I believe all those people helped me more than I would have ever imagined. It was so beautiful. We met a gentleman who was playing flutes for everyone. He had been in a fire and had been badly burned. He had no fingers, yet he played so amazing. He saw what we were doing and asked us to stand next to him to help draw the crowds. When we got ready to leave, he came to get his free hug and whispered in my ear. He said, "I love you brother, have a blessed holiday". I held him tight for awhile. Perfect strangers shared love and compassion today. Today I learned a lesson I will never forget. Thank you to everyone. Thank you.
