FEBRUARY 20 "LOVE OF A FATHER"
Actor Jack Klugman recalls being devastated at
age 12 when his father died. Struggling for decades with depression over that
loss, Klugman finally sought counseling. “It was then that I remembered that my
father was the only one in my family who ever hugged me. The rest of my family
stayed away from touching or hugging—especially my mother. Only my father was
unashamed to show affection. My father taught me that showing your affection
was not a sign of weakness but instead a sign of love.” Klugman says he passed
his father's legacy on to his own two sons as well as his granddaughters.
“Whenever I see them, we kiss and hug and show how fond we are of each other. I
love it!”
