cockles: to provide happiness, to bring a deeply-felt contentment
17th century, Unknown, possibly due to resemblance of cockles to hearts. Alternatively, may be corruption of Latin cochleae in cochleae cordis ventricles of heart or of Irish Gaelic origin. Possibly also inspired by mollusks opening when exposed to warmth, notably cooking.

This is a wonderful video.
I had not seen it, and I thank you for sharing it with me.
It did warm my heart, and I am thankful that there are indeed caring, loving, and compassionate people in this world.
I have always loved Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up."
Our minister of minister sang it at our church at my request. It brings tears to my eyes. I think of my Daddy when I hear that song.
Thank you again for sharing Daisy's video. I am so happy that she can run with the wind.
Hugs,
Jackie
the cockles of my heart remain cool as I realize I am not in a frame of heart to expose myself to something that made you (insert word meaning "gave way to emotions")
We all need happy endings, don't we? What a wonderful story!
Indeed....:)
It Did! Hope you are having a super time!

Awww what a little darling.
Awwww, consider my cockles warmed indeed.
I had seen that video--sweet indeed.
And, I have always wondered where my heart's cockles were.
