Prompt #41: Kissing

How often have you kissed your child, grandchild, spouse or even your cat or dog as they slept?
Sometimes kissing is a tender, poignant act wordlessly conveying unbounded love — even though the recipient doesn’t even realize that he/she is being kissed.
The above photo of my mother kissing my nephew as he slept in her arms perfectly demonstrates the point. He is now a 17-year-old high school senior and she is gone. The picture, illustrating a grandmother’s love for her grandchild in a way no words ever could, is, at this juncture, literally priceless and irreplaceable. The moment is gone forever, but remembered by the photographer (me), and brings comfort to those who remain.
