Farewell Massage

"Please Grandma, could I have a back massage and a foot massage?" KC begged with a smile to melt a grandmother's heart.

KC remembered me giving her a foot massage in Yellowstone earlier in the year when we were doing that marathon car trip throughout the national parks.



It was funny to see KC with this sublime, peaceful look on her face.  Her body melted like butter.






Then I offered to give Tiffany a back massage.  She has been ticklish since she was a baby.  It still hasn't changed.


"Let's do a pattern," said KC.  "First you do me and then you do mommy and then you do me..."

KC was getting a bit impatient when I was massaging her mother so she decided to help.  I showed her how to do the foot massage.

It was a lovely relaxing evening.  When the massage was over (I was tired), KC suddenly wrapped her arms tight around my neck, kissed my cheek exuberantly and said, "Thank you, Grandma."

And yes, that did melt my heart.

Message to my son-in-law:  "Eddie, bring the family over to Hawaii soon and I'll give you a foot massage too."

  2. Every third Friday I get a full body massage and usually fall asleep because I get so relaxed. Can you come over to my house next? :-)

  3. I hope your offer to you son-in-law works. If he's smart it will because you look like you really know what you are doing. KC must think so too since she remembered it from your trip.

  6. That is such a cute picture of KC totally relaxed. She is such a mature, smart child to know what a "pattern" is. I'm impressed!

  8. But what about you? Did nobody give you a massage? I go for a back, neck and shoulder massage once a fortnight, but as it's to deal with stressed muscles I don't find it particularly relaxing.

  9. Amanda: Art will give me a massage if I have an ache, but generally I am the masseuse of the family.

  10. This is so wonderful, Kay. What a treat for KC and Tif, to have massages, and for you (although tired) to be with them and able to make them happy.
    I hope they do visit Hawaii soon.
