I really find the lack of human touch very hard. I am not a hand holding guy. But my fav is the rub of the arm. Stare in the eyes and a smile. I miss that very much.
Rubbing the arm is a special touch to you? Wow, I wouldn't think of that as being affectionate.
Lucky for me, I can cuddle with my son but I really really miss hugs from WH and quick kisses. I am also hyperaware of any exposure of his skin...like when he scratches his stomach or lifts his sleeves up or bends over....NC protects you from that torture!
