Forehead Kisses (and other ramblings)

So many of you may be wondering why I named my blog Sunshine Wishes and Forehead Kisses. Well, I have lots of wishes and it just sounded good...and forehead kisses...well they are just amazing. I truly believe you can get more out of a forehead kiss than you can out of other kisses. When Jeff & I first started truly hanging out (when he owned the video store and I would visit him while he was working) he would always give me a kiss on the forehead when I would leave. This made me believe that he had some sort of feelings for me. Obviously that was true, but at the time it made me wonder. I didn't know how to interpret the forehead kisses at the time. Now I know. The caring, the love...it shows in a forehead kiss. 


Think about a newborn baby....kissing their soft "new baby" smelling head, kissing your child goodnight with a gentle kiss on the forehead, having your spouse kiss you on the forehead when you are sick, telling your dad that you love him and gently giving him a kiss on the forehead moments before he took his last breath...there is meaning behind each and every one of those kisses. 


I will never forget April 1, 2005. This is the day that my dad passed away after a battle with cancer. Have I told you lately that CANCER SUCKS. I remember giving my dad a kiss on the forehead and telling him that I loved him. My dad was/is my hero. I was daddy's little girl and I still am. I think about my dad daily and wish he was here. I wish he was here to see my nephews grow up, I wish he was here to ask advice of, I wish he was here to be with my mom, I wish my dad was here to teach my children how to fish, how to hunt, and swim, most of all...I just wish he was here. Needless to say, I miss my dad. 


So now that I have made you cry or tear up, I will tell you another story. My nephew broke his arm yesterday. He is 3 1/2 and such a boy. He is a trooper and will be fine. I actually thought it would have been his younger brother who broke the first bone since Jayce is such a daredevil! They are both ALL boy and rough house like crazy. I love my nephews! 


So I am not sure what else to blog about today. I had school, took a midterm, and am going to relax. I have been looking for a job.
