"Do you like my dress?"she asked a passing stranger. "My mommy made it just for me,"she said with tears in her eyes.
"l think it's very pretty，but why are you crying?"
The girl answered in a low voice，" Mommy passed away after making this dress for me. "
Finally the woman realized what the child meant，She gently held the child in her arms. Then suddenly the little girl stopped crying，stepped back and began to sing softly.▲After the child stopped singing，she explained to the lady,"My mommy sang that song to me before she went away， and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop. "
"See,"she said，"it did，and now my eyes are dry !"
As the woman turned to go，the little girl stopped her. "Madam，can you stay just a minute? I want to show you something. "
"Of course," she answered.
Pointing to a spot on her dress，she said，"Right here is where my mommy kissed my dress,"pointing to another spot，"and here is another kiss，and here，and here. Mommy said that she put all those kisses there so that I would have her kisses for everything that made me cry. "
Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress，No，she was looking at a mother who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurt that she knew her daughter would get. So she took all the love for her beautiful little girl and put it into this dress that her child now so proudly wore.
She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped in her mother's love.
