Good Vibrations!

Last night was my turn to put Brinley asleep. I was singing several songs to her to help her calm down. While I was singing, Brinley put her hand on my neck. At first I couldn't figure out why she was doing that and then I remembered a favorite time of mine as a child.

When we were young we would go to the church service with my parents ( I don't remember if it was Sunday nights or just special occasions when the church didn't have Sunday School for kids). My favorite part of the entire service was when the congregation sang hymns (sitting down of course). During this time my brother and I would lay our heads on our parent's laps and they would rub our backs very softly (not scratching and not tickling, just right for relaxation). I loved to hear my parent's voices vibrate through out their bodies and into my ear. I think this is what Brinley was doing last night and it almost brought me to tears remembering.
