First Kiss



Day 16 is First Kiss and there are many first kisses in my life. The one at about 9 years old or with my first serious boyfriend in high school. Or the when I started seeing my first husband. How about that first kiss after the birth of each child. Or how about the first kiss from each of my children or my grandson. So many to choose from but I will focus on two first kisses from my second and current husband.

I had met him online and he lived in San Diego and I lived in Phoenix. We chatted online and the over the phone for a couple of weeks before he drove to Phoenix to meet me in person. We would talk for hours on the phone and were very open with each other. But we were both nervous about meeting each other in person. It was a nerve wracking evening waiting for him to get to Phoenix. When he arrived and that first kiss when we first met each other was fireworks. It was gentle and soft yet full of just the right amount of awkwardness but sparks were flying for sure.

Then there is the first kiss after my dad, who performed our ceremony, pronounced us man and wife. That first kiss of many as a couple committed together for the rest of our lives. The first kiss of this is it, we are on this path together. A kiss full of hope and promise of the years to come.

There are many first kisses in my life, that mark different times and aspects of my life.
