..."I think someone needs a kissing hand," she said in a voice that was warm & inviting. She took[his] hand in her own and spread open his tiny fingers into a fan. Leaning over, she kissed him right in the middle of his palm.
... And when he pressed his hand to his cheek, he could hear his mother's words in his head. "mommy loves you," they said. "mommy loves you."
..."Every night, just before the sun goes down, it reaches out with its rays and touches every star in the universe. One by one, the stars light up and shine down upon us. Even on nights we can't see the stars, they're up there sparkling away. No matter how many stars fill the sky, the sun will never run out of light, and its rays will never stop reaching out to them."
That's the way it is with kissing hands. When somebody loves you, their kisses are like the sun's rays - always there and always shining. No matter how many kissing hands I give... I will never, ever run out."
This is a story I used to read to Kayla when she was 5 years old.
now I read it to Josiah, & tonight to my Lijah!

ReplyDeleteI used to kiss the inside of Jocelyn's palm and wrap her fingers around it and tell her to 'Keep it tight, all the night' Her daddy called it our secret kiss!
