A Mother's Kiss

I was laying in the hide-a-bed in the hotel room I was sharing with my parents and I was coughing uncontrollably. It was unfortunate and fortunate at the same time. Unfortunate because I was sick and my parents were only in town for two days and yet fortunate because they were there and even in adulthood there are few things better than being cared for by mom and pops when you are feeling under the weather.
So I was coughing uncontrollably and then finally I fell asleep under the sweet seduction of the sleep agent of my cold medicine. Soon morning arrived and pops was in the shower while I was laying in that hide-a-bed trying to squeeze a few more moments in bed before the days activities began and then I felt something light and sweet and gentle on my forehead. A kiss. A simple and yet caring kiss.
Thanks mom , I cherish every one, especially then ones you share without worry of catching my colds because to you all that matters is my feeling better. Nothing more, nothing less.
