Things you miss.

[Alana_]

Express what you miss, be it serious or a bit of fun, but please keep it on topic.


At this time of year, I miss my Grand parents terribly. It's the first without my Nan, and the second without my Papa. Huge losses in our family.

I'm sending love and hugs your way, beautiful Alana.

I miss the relationship I used to have with my brother. We're still relatively close, but the past three months have changed us. He's hurt me, in so many ways. And I'm learning that I cannot rescue him constantly.... that part I don't miss.

But I do miss feeling as if I have an ally and a confidant. There's a lack of trust there now.

I'm very sorry about that. I'd miss my brothers dreadfully if something was to come between us. I think I know what you mean though about 'rescuing' him. I've a cousin that has been rescued so many times now it's left him believing he can do what he likes, and we'll come running. Unfortunately there's less and less running to him every time now, and soon no one will come. It's very sad, and a selfish illness that is taking him away, and driving his family further away from him.


Thank you also FF for the kind words spoken in your first post. Much appreciated.

I miss lots of things...lots of silly things really, Cadbury's chocolate, jelly, British TV and British shops...

But then there are bigger things...

Even though I'd away living this awfully big adventure in a foreign land experiencing things that I know some people only dream of, I do miss my home. I miss how easy it was to see my family no matter where I was. I regret I didn't make the most of that when I was there...
When our daughter was born and got sick I would have killed to have my Mum closer by, just for her advice and a shoulder to lean on, to cry on. She'd been through very similar circumstances with me.

Being here is everything I dreamed it would be but in order to live this wonderful dream, there have had to be sacrifices.
Family...friends...I've been too far away to say my last 'goodbyes' to several dear loved people, the worst of which was my Grandmother. She practically raised my brother and I and taught me more than I could ever begin to thank her for. This will be our second Christmas without her.

But this will be our first Christmas with our darling, brave, little girl and so the hurt is a little less this year...

That's sad but lovely..Little people have a way of making sad things appear managable so long as the little people are happy and healthy. Hugs.

My girl and my friends.

 

[Alana_]

not worrying.

 

[Niriate]

I miss my homecountry..

It might sound really stupid, but I miss the snow, I miss the treks that me, my sister and my parents used to make through the woods every two weeks.
Seeing the trees nearly buckle under the snow, snowball fights.. or just skating on the lake. Summer and Winter are the most glorious seasons in Scandinavia, imo

But I swore myself an oath that I would never go back for more then a week. There are so many bad memories clinging to that country, that I just can't go back for a longer time...

 

[BrazenFellow]

Sorry to hear that, Alana. I've taken some pretty significant losses lately as well... I have one grandparent surviving, my cousin has been dead for a few years now, my neighbour died traumatically, one of my good friends was in a coma and is now incommunicado, and so on. Right around the winter, when I spend less time out of doors, is when I have more time to remember them and thus miss them.

Good lads, all, though.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

I miss my mother. She has been gone from this place of existence since 2004 and yet I miss her.

I miss my little sister. She passed away at age 12 from leukemia in 1987 and yet, I miss her.

I miss my children's father. I gave him up, gave up the idea of being hetero a long time ago. I know it isn't for me, it will never be for me but yet, I miss him.

I miss feeling like I belong somewhere.

I miss having my family all together.

I miss being able to log onto lit and see my Muse whenever i want.

I miss sanity. I miss light. I miss the knowledge that i will be ok....

 

[Jokas_Wild]

The East Coast. I dunno, I love living out West and all that but still, I miss where I am from even after 7+ years away from it. I chalk it up to the holidays, they always make ya sentimental for being with the fam.

Oh well, that's all I got for now. Thanks for listening ya'll.

 

[sallythescorpian]

I miss cashing my paycheck, and blasting most of it on clothes / make up/ painting the town red etc.... and then living on baked potatoes and jam sandwiches until my next payday!!! Responsibilities suck sometimes!

 

[FuckFantasy]

- Writing creatively

- The summertime

- A normal sleep schedule

- A brief period where I WASN'T paranoid that my best friend actually is serious when she makes all these jokes about being my hot lesbian lover (She's getting intense, and I'm not sure what to think)

 

[Erlind]

I miss my commodore 64 and the simplicity life was when I used to play it. I miss Zork and Super Zaxxon. I miss my hacked version of Donkey Kong and learning to play archon. I miss exploring the world of Below the Root via shuba. I miss all of those games I can't remember the names of. The games that were impossible to beat and difficult at best to play. I learned patience and a good chunk of my vocabulary from those games. I miss those floppy disks that actually flopped.

... why can I only get sentimental about dated electronics?

 

[Ahren]

Because you are a gigantic nerd.

 

[Mephistophelily]

My friends.
My own friends that I can see whenever I want.
I miss the people who actually liked me for me, not because of who I was with and were friends by association.

 

[Alana_]

Being able to eat what ever I wanted and not feel my waist band get tight.

 

[Erlind]

Indeed I am Ahren

 

[Light Ice]

Things that I miss...

- The Piano Bar and a soft purple dress. I'll probably carry a vision of this in some form for the rest of my life.

- My grandfather's company and guidance. I wonder how many mistakes he could have saved me from before I made them. I wonder what he'd say about where I am now and how I try to live my life.

- The foolish confidence of youth. I still lack the ability to hesitate when I make up my mind but I've become so much more deliberate in my decision making process that sometimes I miss the part of me that would take a leap based purely on my faith in myself. It lead to a few adventures.

- Loving a woman. It was nice to care for a partner that intensely. It reminded me that I'm not an utter bastard.

- The Red Wood forest in Big Basin California. It takes a lot to make me feel small. 300 foot tall trees got the job done.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

I miss Pat: god, how I miss her.

I miss my Greenwich Village of the 60s and the people I knew there and then.

I miss my late colleague, Bert.

I miss the sea, and the desert, and the mountains...

 

[Debbie920]

i miss someone i was becoming close to. i thought i could try and actually be myself with i was wrong.

i miss grant_s

 

[sallythescorpian]

I miss Summer holidays. Being away, lying by the pool, catching some sunshine, relaxing!

 

[Gaias_child]

I miss the years I had with my grandparents...during christmas. Taking the sleigh out along the snow covered wood trails..looking for that right tree..cutting it down and bringing it back to Grams house. Decorating it with only things handmade from all the kids..the big fireplace and cider..the songs and stories told and sung aorund.

Now it is all to commercial and about what someone wants...noone ever hinks back to what it really is..which is why it is hard for me to celebrate it..simple times and memories..gone. I would give anything to have those days back..it was all so simple and full of love.
