Things only we could miss

I miss her constant questions
I miss finding things in the wrong places
I miss reminding her to eat
I miss steeling things from the nursing home
I miss the residents at the nursing home
I miss cleaning up after her
I miss waiting up at night to make sure she is sleeping
I miss calming her down when she is afraid
I miss her singing even when her voice was almost gone
I miss hoping that she is ok
I miss cleaning her glasses
I miss my clothing being misplaced
I miss holding her hand
I miss helping her with her medicine
I miss sitting next to her
I miss putting my head on her shoulder
I miss her constant love
I miss her easy answers
I miss my Nonna

What do you miss?

I miss watching her dance in her chair
I miss hearing her sing to the commercials on TV
I miss her sitting next to me at the casino
I miss her telling everyone she met that she loved them
I miss her asking me to buy everything in the grocery store
I miss hearing her breathe
I miss having a purpose
I miss my best friend

[font=Comic Sans MS]I miss her twinkling eyes.
I miss her sweet smile.
I miss her gentle touch.
I miss having her worry about me.
I miss her raspy whisper.
I miss holding her hand.
I miss her delight in a hot cup of coffee.
I miss telling her not to feed the dog from her fork.
I miss the way her face would light up whenever her great grandkids were here.
I miss seeing her every day.
I miss my mom.[/font]

I miss her unconditional love
I miss her hearing my silent tears fall from the other end of the house
I miss her backrubs
I miss her tender, loving guidance
I miss my Mom.

I just miss my Dad

Things I miss about my dad:
his strong "daddy hands"
the way he used to twiddle his thumbs
his knack for making things ok again
his whistling
the way he used to answer the phone "Duffy's Tavern"
the way he used to say "I love you too princess"
the way he used to putter around the house inside and out, fixing things and cleaning
calling me and asking me what to do about his latest computer messup

Things I miss about my mom:
her gentle touch
the way she used to stroke my hair
her whistling
her singing - she was way better than Judy Garland could have ever been
her perfume
her smile
her way of making people feel like they were so special
she was my biggest fan, my best cheerleader

My Daddy:
I miss everything about him.
When I left to go anywhere, he'd tell me to have a "big" time.
When I got home, he'd smile and ask me if I had a "big" time.
He always always smiled back.
I loved him the most.
Everyone thought he loved them the most.
I miss him getting ready for spring the day after Christmas.
I miss him eating lunch and talking about what's for dinner.
He loved all my dogs and asked about them like they were my children.
He always listened to my sleep dreams and told me his.
I miss him standing in the doorway waiting for me to come home.
I miss him standing in the doorway watching me leave.

I miss our conversations about Daddy's WW2 experience and our 15 year
search for his buddies. I had success but Daddy was very close to Heaven
I wish I could see his face if he knew I found the family of his very best friend
who was killed in action in front of my dad.
His biggest dream was to find the family. If he only knew I did and know them well
now. I miss my daddy's face with the look of pride and love for me.

I miss what my Dad missed out on. He has seven grandchildren now. Two of them he never knew. The other were toddlers when he last knew their names. Now they are getting big and he would have gotten such a kick out of them. That's what I miss...all of the things he missed.

Right now, I'm missing Stef herself.
How are you and your family doing, sweetie?
Check back in and let us know.
God Bless.

Things I miss...
I miss my mother-in-law's crocheted tacky Christmas elves hanging from her overhead light.
I miss her wrapping gifts in the comic strips pages of the newspaper. I miss how her eyes would tear up at the sound of a hymm. I miss her presense and unconditional love.

I miss my dad's child like love of Christmas. I miss the oranges and candy in my stocking on Chrismas morning. I miss the smell of his Old Spice after shave and his love for all of us.

I miss Keith...everything about him.

This Christmas eve I think of the losses of so many of your loved ones and it is as if I have known and loved them all. God bless them one and all and may they look down on us this holiday and smile on us.

Job well done my friends. You have given all you had and loved them well. I'm so proud of every one of you and I feel blessed to have been even a teeny part of your walk through the mist.

Deb, I just read your tagline about being a refugee from a forum far far away. I think these folks were too:
