A memory of kisses: 

  

Kisses once bestowed on me are sweet tortures of times long gone,

Kisses given freely with love and squishy hugs

Kisses secretly shared with giggles and sweet smiles

Kisses , hugs, and giggles, such are the memories I cherish .

 

I wrote this about my grandmother, as I always think of her when I think of candy kisses: 

When I was very little my grandmother used to give me candy kisses she had hidden in her room.  It was our secret.  We would sneak into her room and eat kisses and watch her soap operas, she wanted company and I was easily bribed, lol.  She also kept me out of harms way when my dad was on a rampage about ~whatever~.  These are the things I remember about her.  She died when I was 4 years old.

Sweet!
What a lovely memory you have of your grandma. Protector as well as spoiler. Terrific combination and that's what grandma's are made of.
Very nicely worded, very nice.

Nice memories! My one Grandfather gave me a roll of lifesavers on occassion. I still remember that when I see a roll of lifesavers.

Ahhhh Grandmothers and their love eh? I bet the taste of that chocolate brings back that safe content feeling? My grand mother died also when I was young but I still hear her voice calling me. Thanks.

Denise, thank you for being one of my Gather connections.

As a Christmas present to you, I will leave this Christmas greeting on all of your photos and articles. It might take me a while, as you have been pretty active, but I will get through them all, and I hope you will get a little point (or Gather cash) boost in time for Christmas.

I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season with lots of love, joy and family time.
