Kiss Kiss

Some folks may say a kiss is a kiss is a kiss.

I would disagree.

There are so many degrees of a kiss.

The first kiss.

The good bye kiss.

The peck on the cheek- I'll be back soon kiss.

The "Oh my goodness I 'm falling in love" kiss.

The "You're so cute I could eat you up" kiss.

I could go on and on....

It is so sad to me that some people go through life without  a lot of kisses.

Our family is a kissing family.  We kiss all the time.

I kiss my girls.  I kiss my mom.  I kiss my grand-babies.

And I kiss my husband.  A lot.  I mean, kissing is one of our favorite things to do.

My girls have grown up seeing us kiss.  They have seen their daddy plant smacker-roos on me their whole life...at home, in public, in the car...where ever.

I'm thankful they consider this the "norm" between a husband and wife.

Anyways, we've had a lot of kissin going on this week..

All this kissing got me thinking..

Yesterday was the 7th  anniversary of the death of my brother, Greg.

He was tragically killed in a car accident at the age of 39.

Oh, was he a kisser!  That boy was always affectionate.  

You were gonna get hugged and you were gonna get kissed when he was around.  

I miss his hugs and kisses.

I took them for granted.

I thought he would always be around with his infectious laugh that could always make me smile.

If I had known that was the last time I was gonna see him, 

I would have hugged him tighter.

So today, my advice to you is this..

Go kiss the ones you love.

Go give them a big sloppy smooch out of nowhere....

just because you can.
