After reading about one parents 15 month no contact with her son I was stunned...just the thought!!! It's been 3 months since I've seen my 15 yr old! We do video chat at least...but they just don't understand that bond!!!! That need for love in the manner of a hug!!!! It does alot of damage to the heart!
Yes, Nikki, you are right! Although my son is an adult and has been for quite a while now, as a mother, the instinct is to love and protect our young, even our young adults! I'm grateful I was able to visit with him, through video and glass, but not hugging him was so hard! With minor children it is essential to have that physical connection - they are still growing, developing, bonding. My prayer is that you and your son will get to have your hugs real soon! My heart aches for you both.

You're right...nothing can take the place of being able to hug/touch our sons/loved ones in person. Thank God, that He holds our hearts near.
