Kisses can't Wait

I was running late for work. It takes longer to get “pretty” when you’re sixty-four! I had finally made it to the car – ready to put it in gear, when the little face pressed against my front door. I waved and then stopped. I know how much my beautiful little granddaughter loves to hug me good-bye. So – I called to her impatiently – “Hurry up, run, quick, I have to go, I’m late! “Run Bella” – now this is the morning that she decides to take tiny baby steps toward the car. As I looked at her – I thought. Ok, I may be late for work - so fire me – kisses don’t wait. All too soon, she will grow up – go away – no sticky sweet kisses for me then. I gathered her up in my arms and gave her a special hug and kiss that morning. Ah, this is what life is really all about – seizing the moment – savoring that precious kiss that I could have missed. And guess what – I got to work on time because when we listen to our hearts, time stands still and waits for kisses that can’t wait.
