    Hands are wonderful to look at, almost as expressive as eyes.

    Each of these hands looks like they have lived busy lives and have stories to tell.

    What a great post. All of the important people in my life - I know their hand as well as their faces. I can see my husband's playing his guitar, my boys' with fingers intertwined into mine, or holding a pencil writing me a story. I can see my mother's hands cooking, cutting and sewing, or my sister's flying around as she tells a story. When I think about my father, I can still feel his hands. His were a little rough, and he always loved to hold mine and tell me how smooth they are.

    I love this post.
    And that kitten. :)

    I love these beautiful pictures. The picture of your Mom's hands is so poignant.

    This has been my favorite link so far this week.

    It really made my heart smile.

    Thank you.

    I don't think we realize how expressive hands can be until we see photos like these.
