"Give Her Kisses"

Blog from when I was using LiveJournal.

[mood | School went well {::sigh::}]

I just got to my mom's office after my first day back in school. My mom was on the phone, and my Aunt came from the back of the office bringing two cups of coffee. One was black, and one had the milky color from adding cream. My mom drinks black, so my aunt put the black coffee on my mom's coaster and then dropped two chocolates from her hand in the center of the desk. I had an inward chuckle at how my aunt brought my mom chocolates. As she was walking out of my mom's room (I was standing by the door) she spoke to me in a voice that I don't really know how to describe, but basically soft and excited. It reminded me of a little girl being so happy and sweet and innocent, enjoying the simple pleasures of life. My aunt said, "I give her kisses."
I had to write it down. I know you probably had to have been there, but that will be an awesome memory (for me at least). Sisterly love. Hadn't really paid any mind to the type of chocolate when my aunt had dropped them. I had only enjoyed the predictable love my mom and aunt share for sweets. But my aunt giving my mom kisses seemed to have a bigger impact than anyone could have ever thought.

With love... and if I could, kisses
