Butterfly Kisses

Butterfly kisses have been in my world since I was a little girl.








My mom always gave them to me--along with Eskimo kisses!









On my wedding day my dad and I danced to the song, "Butterfly Kisses" since they were such a part of my childhood. I also wonder if he had the song written just for us as it described our father/daughter relationship to a tee!









Sweet Audrey E. and I now have our own ritual. She created it just for us just last week. She firsts pecks me on the lips and then gives me a butterly kiss on each eyelash. She does it at least 20 times a day. And I love it.









How thrilled I am that butterfly kisses will remain a family tradition...

As you know I don't usually read blogs but---I read this one and loved it. I have warm memories of putting you to bed for years giving you butterfly kisses, my sweet girl. I miss those nights -your sweet clean smell right from the bath with Mr. Bubble and your blankee held tight in your hand. Now it's your turn with your little Audrey giving those kisses, life goes on and how sweet it is. God is good and I'm so thankful for you and the love you have given us and the joy we have received. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
