\u201cDo you like my dress?\u201d A little girl asked of a woman passing by. \u201cMy mommy made it just for me,\u201d she said with a tear in her eye. \u201cWell, I think it\u2019s very pretty, so tell me little one, why are you crying?\u201d The woman said. With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered, \u201cAfter Mommy made me this dress, she had to go away.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell now, with a little girl like you waiting for her, I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll be right back.\u201d \u201cNo ma\u2019am, you don\u2019t understand,\u201d said the little girl through her tears, \u201cmy Daddy said that she\u2019s up in heaven now with Grandfather.\u201d Finally, the woman realized what she meant, and why she was crying. Kneeling down she gently cradled the girl in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone. Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange. She stopped crying, stepped back from the woman, and began to sing. She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small bird. After the little girl stopped singing she explained to the woman, \u201cMy mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away, and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop.\u201d The woman smiled as the little girl spread her arms wide. \u201cSee,\u201d she exclaimed, \u201cit did, and now my eyes are dry!\u201d As the woman turned to go, the little girl grabbed her sleeve, \u201cLady, can you stay just a minute? I want to show you something.\u201d \u201cOf course,\u201d she answered, \u201cwhat do you want me to see?\u201d Pointing to a spot on her dress, the little girl said, \u201cRight here is where my Mommy kissed my dress, and here,\u201d pointing to another spot, \u201cand here is another kiss, and here, and here. Mommy said that he put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every boo-boo that made me cry.\u201d Then the lady realized that she wasn\u2019t just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a Mother\u2026Who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get. So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress, that her child now so proudly wore. She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped in her Mother\u2019s love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
