People Who Needed Hugs

From The Metro:

Kate Ogg and her husband, David, were told to say their goodbyes to Jamie when he was born prematurely at 27 weeks, weighing just 2.2lb (1kg). His twin sister, Emily, survived but Jamie was declared dead by the doctor who delivered him after 20 minutes trying to get him to breathe. But after two hours of being spoken to, cuddled and held, he began showing signs of life. Then, after being given breast milk on his mother's finger, he began breathing regularly.

Mrs Ogg has now told how vital 'skin-on-skin' care can be. She said on Australian TV: 'After just five minutes, I felt him move as if he were startled, then he started gasping more and more regularly. A short time later he opened his eyes. It was a miracle.'

From NY Mag:

It was time for White to leave [Lehman Brothers]. [Dick] Fuld stood up and came around to the other side of his desk to shake White's hand. He put his hand out, then pulled it back. "Nah, f*ck that," he said. "Give me a hug. I need a hug."

Before White knew it, Fuld, the man whose gruff, brutish manner had given him the nickname "the Gorilla," was embracing him. Then, White said, Fuld started crying. "Kevin, you're the first person to say thank you to me."

When his cheeks were dry, White asked Fuld if he'd be joining Barclays. "F*ck that," Fuld said. "I'm not going to Barclays. F*ck that."
