Tobi opened their bedroom door and called for mommy. Since I had already put them to bed, I asked Josh to field their need. He soon came back downstairs. “They say they needs a kiss from you and that’s all they need to go to sleep.” How can you say no to that? You just plain can’t.
So up the stairs I went. After kneeling down to the floor and laying my head upon their bed, I asked where they would like their kiss. After trying a couple different spots, they finally said their heel. After a sweet mommy kiss, they smiled and said…
The pain went outside.
It went out of my heel, through my body and out my finger
It went through my door, down the stairs and out the other door
It went outside and flew away like a bird.
If only all our pains could fly away with just the help of a mommy kiss…
And all of our moments could be as sweet as that one. What a wonderful kid!
