Catching Kisses

My Hively is getting too big. Bigger and bigger every day! He is finishing up 2nd grade right now.
Every morning I drop him and Red off at Grandma’s for breakfast. She feeds them and then takes them to school so I can get to work. Red hops out of the car and dashes off with barely a wave. Hively, he lingers and collects his things. He then leans forward for a quick kiss. Then he hops out of the car with an “I love you” over his shoulder and wanders up onto Grandma’s porch. Always though, before he opens the door and enters the house he looks right at me and blows a kiss. If Grandma or Grandpa have come to the door to let him in he now will do a small hand touch to the lips just short of the full-blown gesture. I know kids have to grow up and we have to let them go. But, I just know how sad and heartbroken I am going to be on the day he gets too big to throw me a kiss every morning.
