What makes me miss you...

I miss you in the morning when I first wake up .  When I'm fresh from sleep, and it takes a few minutes and I remember that you're gone.

I miss you when I'm driving to work, because I would call you, when the kids weren't in the car and I could actually talk for a minute.

I miss you when a random person calls work, asking us to sponsor their breast cancer program,  and he asks if I've known anyone who has battled the terrible disease.

I miss you when a daycare teacher upsets me, and I don't know if I'm overreacting.   You'd be the first person to tell me what to do.

I miss you when I see your mother's ring on my finger.  I've always been told we look like and I never really see it.  But when I look at my hands, I see your hands.

I miss you when I think of my brother's baby being born.   Or when I think of my sister going back to school, or getting married.  Or anything else you should be here for.

I miss you when I take a video of drew being cute, cause I know you would love it, and share it on Facebook.

I miss you at the swim meets.  You loved to watch your boys swim, and I cry every week when you aren't there with me.

I miss you everyday.  I miss you all the time. I never knew how much I needed you.   I never appreciated you the way I should have.
