Valentine’s Day is upon us and I suspect many TT’s will pay homage to this holiday of love. I also want to express my sentiments of this loving holiday, but from a slightly different perspective: Holding Hands
I believe holding hands is the purest of all acts of intimacy. To hold that special someone’s hand is to offer them a public and physical sign of your affection. Holding the hand of a friend in a time of need provides a blanket of comfort in a time when security seems so far away. There are very few things more innocent than a child taking the hand of a parent, looking for direction, or possibly protection from the unknown. Unlike the days of my youth, children of today are closer and more outwardly affectionate to their parents, mostly because parents are more comfortable showing and receiving affection. I truly believe holding the hand of a child gives them a connection to your heart. There is something magical about seeing adult children and their elderly parents holding hands, and not just for balance or support as they try to portray, but aslo as a sign of love. And of course, romance would not be romance without the holding of hands.
As the Beatles sang back in 1963, “When I’ll feel that something, I want to hold your hand.” What do you feel when viewing these pictures of Holding Hands?
