A kiss for luck xxoo
Jun 10 '00
How I love kissing my kids. When they were babies, I must have smooched them hundreds of times in a day. Smelling the smell of that tiny baby, feeling their warm little cheeks, the fuzz of the newborn hair. Warm cuddly kisses, that I have taken and wrapped in foil. Newborn angel kisses.
Oh, and the hugs. When my boys and I fight, when the air gets so tense, and I can feel the anger taking over me, I demand that they give me a hug. Never have they been so upset that they have refused to comply. The problem still remains, but the anger melts away. Sometimes, during that "cooling off", I will even steal a kiss on the cheek.
My boys are now as tall as me, and growing taller each day. I never want the hugs to go away, and I make them promise to always hug me, even when I am old and smelly.
Hugs make the world go around. Hugs are happy, hugs are sad, they say thank you and I love you and I am sorry. Hugs are a universal language.
My hugs and kisses let my children know that they are loved and cherished.
When a child knows they are loved and cherished, they feel safe to return the emotion to others.
Children are not inherently bad. Children are lovely little angels, sent to us, to love and mold and cherish. Take the time to love your child, to hug your child, to kiss your child.
Some days my husband and I get so busy we feel as if we are Running on Empty. When I fall into bed at night, exhausted from the day, I ask myself if I stopped to give the kids a kiss. Sadly, some days I don't seem to have the time. That is when I tiptoe into each little room, and look at the faces. I stop, and breath, and slow my world around me. When all is serene, I lean over and kiss their sleeping heads.
And then the world begins again.
