A kiss on the forehead is such a endearing thing. A kiss on the cheek is ok, but it could feel like betrayal (THANKS JUDAS!!)
Something I have not often thought of is how much a kiss on the forehead really is something intimate. I know that I kiss my wife and my kids on the foreheads all the time - and each time when I do it I have many thoughts that run through my head. Really I am praying for them - sending love through my spittle - and trying to convey something .. I just cannot speak.
Receiving a kiss on the forehead is another act. You must give up yourself to the kisser.. in a way. Not as much as a kiss to the mouth, but enough that your giving them access to yourself in such a way. My wife kisses me that way and I know that she cares for me.. that she always wants to be there for me. My kids do it.. and I know that they love me.. that most of the time.. they just want those few moments with daddy.
