Hand-Holding

I love Hand-Holding - holding hands with my daughter or my son or my husband.  I love this sense of closeness and connection. 

Hand-Holding definition, what I am referring to is “If two people are holding hands, they are holding each other’s nearest hand, usually while they are walking or sitting together.  People often do this to show their affection for each other”.

Today as I walked my son to his friend’s house, I had such Joy in my heart Hand-Holding, his hand in mind.  I even took a photo to capture the specialness of his hand in mine.  It is so special to me.

My daughter is growing up too fast now.  It is rare that my daughter will hold my hand and when she does she does so very reluctantly - yet sometimes it feels natural and not forced and in these moments, there is Joy.

Holding my husband’s hand can be rare these days as usually we are focused on keeping our children safe and holding their hands - yet when we do hold hands, it is Joyful, it is special, it is felt in the heart. 

I know that one day my little boy will also stop wanting to hold my hand and yet for now, for every day, for each special moment, I will treasure and cherish and be in the moment, to capture this Joy.
