THE KISS
She is pregnant;
he had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire.
When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.
A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, noticed her in the distance looking at the fireman.
He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do.
As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies and kissed him just as the photographer snapped this photograph.

I've never seen this picture before. It really is an amazing heart-warming story.

A lovely story - but no surprise to me... My mother was a Leading Firewoman during WWII - and I was brought up on stories of this kind!

Happy tears from this photo. I don't know if I can write on it better than your introduction!

This is too overwhelming
for me to write! -
Thank-you very much for the silver honor here.
A wonderful theme to write for and feel...
A great story to pass-on to others as I've already
witnessed in commentary. Congrats to all here.
