When you're little your parents hold your hand when walking down the street and while crossing the road. Then in junior school you hold hand with your 'Best Friend', to show everyone else they are your 'Best Friend'. After that you hold hands when you start 'going out' with someone.
I still hold hands with my Practically Sister, in scary or exciting scenes in films my Best Friend will hold my hand, my Long Distance Friend when he comes up holds my hand and Best Male Friend occasionally just reaches over and holds my hand. All these are wonderful moments there is something comforting about someones hand in yours, it reassures you that someone is there for you.
This isn't what made me smile though, I am a Rainbows leader (Rainbows are younger than Brownies which are below Guides, who are equivalent of Scouts but for girls), I go every Tuesday to help out and occasionally the Rainbows just reach up and hold my hand. It always makes me smile, the innocence when a child reaches up for that reassurance that you're there it's fantastic. It really made my day.
