The Power of a Hug




This is a picture from an article called
"The Rescue Hug". The article details
the first week of a set of twins.
Apparently, each were in their respective
incubators, and one was not expected
to live. A hospital nurse fought against
the hospital rules and placed the babies
in one incubator.

When they were placed together,
the healthier of the twins reached
out an arm over the sister in an endearing
embrace. The smaller baby's heart
stabilized and her temperature rose
to normal.

Let us not forget to embrace
those whom we love.

  1. Thanks for sharing this. It warms my heart to see common sense win out over rules. :) I am going to hug my boys now.
