"Hug them every chance you get ...hug them HARD...tell them you love them Always...one day they’ll be there and the next gone. Vanished in the night forever. Never coming back. Isaac PUNKDRUMZ Creasey is our Number One Son. I cut his umbilical cord in 1976 when he came into our lives. April 16, 2017, Fentanyl poisoning took his raucous laughter away from the world. “Isaac”-“He who laughs”. Named after the greatest mind ever known, Newton. Isaac was so very great at so much. And I hug AIR now...😑😢🥺😖😥😓HUG YOUR SONS. Too soon either they or you will be unable to. We are lucky enough to have two more sons and three grandkids to hug still..."

Speaking of father/son activities, here's an RC Pulse Jet scale model of the WWII Heinkel HE-162. Pure Awesomeness!!

I don't have any sons, but I have four beautiful girls. My job is to show them how ladies are supposed to be treated, so they'll find a man who treats them like one.

Jimy, you have my blessing anytime you want to use Tonic Masculinity for fathers hugging their sons. It's exactly in line with my original definition of 'a world that puts children at the center, surrounded by women, surrounded by men.' It's clearly the antidote to the toxicity taking us down.

Every time I hug my Sons I can feel my inner child (who was starved of his father’s physical affection and love) heal a little bit. I can see how it lights them up and makes them feel connected and secure. Whenever they’re struggling... hug. When I see them in the morning... hug. Go to bed... hug. Who knows what the future brings... but they will always know they are loved.
