Aye Fond Kiss

I've watched little miss H, daughter of Hesscat bloom and grow since she and my son bonded over ricecakes and rusks 14 years ago and always thought of her as my secret daughter before my real one came along.
Tonight at the local Burns Supper I watched the first public outing of her stunning voice as she sang my two favourite Burns melodies. Hauntingly and searingly beautiful she stunned the audience who have watched this young lady play and grow up in the village.
It was moment in time. Watching someone bloom and grow.
Bottled forever.
What a wonderful future lies ahead.
