"Open your hand, Mama."
"Why?" I say, pretending I don't know.
"Because I want to leave a kiss in your hand!"
"But why?" I ask again, playing dumb."So you can put my kiss in your pocket and save it for later."
Each and every one of my pockets, in every pair of pants and in every jacket, overflows with kisses that spill out every where.
The wind lifts them up and they swirl all around me like a petal storm.

Now that's the perfect storm.
Oh My Gosh, that is sweet! My daughter gives me bags of love. She gives me rainbows of love, dolphins, clouds, hearts, etc. etc. All are invisible but very much heartfelt! Aren't we lucky?
That's so sweet. Here's hoping my little boy believes in giving his mommy kisses for later some day!
That's just too precious.
that's just so sweeeeeet...
Just as it should be.
You are surrounded by love and kisses.
I can't think of anything better to fill your pockets with. :-)
That. Is. Perfect. :)
xox
sweetness!
Ah, is that not the sweetest thing??? How lucky!
My head just about blew up from the cuteness! Oh. My. GAWD.
What a neat idea. We do the "catching" blown kisses (on our cheek) but I've not heard of putting them in your pocket before. I'm going to try that one with my kids. It's those things that memories are made of. :)
How beautiful is that...
Pure, heart-melting perfection that is...
(Don't know why that sounds all Yoda-like, but I like the way it came out, so it stays.)
What beautiful sweetness.
Awww how precious
i always leave an extra kiss around for my daughter. Even though she is 17, she still needs it.
I must teach that to my son. You know, force it on him. Because it makes my heart melt just reading it.
Lucky, lucky you.

awww, that is precious!
So sweet! You must be doing something right!
So cute. You need to read "The Kissing Hand," if you haven't already.
My kids love that story.
How lovely. I'm going to imagine your petals the next time my bag of mommy patience is low. Thanks!
Pretty :)
Beautiful.
Ok, just so I know I have it straight: you have a rocking marriage, two adorable kids, a satisfying work life, a razor sharp wit, friends deliciously rich in character and daring AND you can write the heartwarming sentimental stuff? If you weren't so awesome I just might have to not like you.
I'm buying some cargo pants for the when I see my kids
Absolutely beautiful! Doesn't your hear melt when you get a new kiss to save?
Beautiful, simply beautiful.
Sweet baby kisses in a petal storm. I can totally visualize that! You are rich!
I think I'm going to start saving my kids kisses in my pockets. Sounds like an excellent idea. Thanks for making me smile.
What a lovely thing!
So sweet!
Oof, my heart.
That's pretty - there's nothing sweeter in the world then little kids in a sweet mood, really.
ENOUGH FOR EVERYBODY!!!
That rocks.
Really sweet!
Precious!
What lovely imagery. What a wonderful symbol, I will have to start with hand kisses, so delicious and sweet.
how sweet
After a very cranky weekend (in parts) by all parties - I needed this.
I assume you've read The Kissing Hand?
My kids love that book and having me fill up their hands with kisses again and again...
Lovely post!
Those moments (which your children might not remember later) will remain precious to you always.
That's is so sweet.
