Hearts – XOXO

When I was a little girl, my aunt signed all her cards with x’s and o’s. It was her special way of making sure I knew that no matter where she was or what she was up to, she was wishing she could be right beside me—that she loved me, no matter what. I don’t know what it was about those simple letters, but they brought far more comfort to me than any of the text written on those cards.

So when I had children of my own, I wanted to carry on that tradition of x’s and o’s but soon discovered that there just weren’t enough occasions for all the times I wanted to share those sentiments. That’s when I came up with a cute song that went something like this: “Hugs and kisses, Kisses and hugs, I’ve got a pretty girl” (or boy). I’d sing, I’d wiggle and dance, I’d squeeze and hug, and I’d sing some more. The kids loved it. Now that they’re older, however, they’d much prefer the x’s and o’s.

May this card remind you to cherish the small things in your life, to love more, to hug more, and to not be afraid of change—should you, too, need to tone things down or spice things up to meet someone else’s personality.
