Kisses...

It seemed only natural to post something about kissing this close to Valentines Day, but I am not talking about the normal types of kissing. So here it goes.

There are many types of kisses, each one ranging at different levels and different intensity... but the most valued, most pure, most coveted of all kisses are the ones given by mommies to owies. Yes, the Boo-boo Kiss is in fact the most powerful kiss one can receive. Children know this, because it is only natural to run to their mommy in a time of horrid tragedy and cry out, "MOMMY! AN OWIE! KISS IT!"

Now, you already know that a Boo-boo kiss cures owies, bumps, bruises, and yes the occasional paper cut. But what some do not realize is, that not only does it cure those hurts and owies, it also cures tear streaked faces, broken spirits and the heart of a whimpering child. A child in itself is already so delicate, that only the most special type of person with the most special type of kiss can really lift their suddenly gloomy day.

The Boo-boo Kiss has special qualities because of the love that it is backed up by. When a mother sees that her most precious treasure is hurting or crying, it is not only the child's heart that breaks, but the mommy's too. Mother's have such a close connection to their children because of that instant connection when they are born. To hold them in your arms after long hours of waiting, is not only magical but the world is put on pause. Whether you have your child because you had to wait 9 months, 2 years or even wait for a wonderful mother to pick you, that connection is by definition magical.

This magic is carried on throughout the years by the mothers. It is a necessity to have, for when that day comes that your child cries out for you and your heart breaks, the only tool you have is the only tool you need... your instinctual magical mommy Boo-boo Kiss.
