Holding Hands

Two holding hands
The symbol of caring 
The symbol of life 
The symbol of love
The symbol of I will always be with you
The symbol of taking care of you
The symbol of the family they have raised
The symbol of I am with you when you’re sick
 A universal symbol of feelings

Thank you. It is a shame that we don't think some times to do the simples things in life like a touch of the hand or a hug.

Sorry , Rajat Kanti Chakrabarty I meant to say ," Your heart is in the right place, and we do need to eliminate hate."

your heart is in the right place, and we do not to eliminate hate. This was inspired over my aunt and uncle holding hands. My uncle is very ill in the hospital with pneumonia and his wife that is ill also is holding his hand to comfort him.
