I sat on the couch putting on my shoes this morning when a nine year old bounded in the room and plopped himself down on my knees. Two gangly arms locked themselves around my neck, and he gave me a hug that would melt any mother's heart. A "secret"*** kiss followed and an I love you, Mom.
AAAHHHH! How sweet the love of a child! Just the night before the other boy cuddled up next to me and gave me a big smooch on the cheek during the middle of story book time. He smiled a little smile and smushed himself up under my arm, promptly falling asleep.
The thought makes me happy :-)
***Secret kiss denotes the order of where your face gets kissed first, second, third and so on...In this day and age I felt I better explain that.
