Are You Missing Someone Right Now?

[Dendrite]

My friend in the UK. I have known her for 25 years. She is a very dear friend to me.

I am missing my husband and my son and a dear friend who is dealthly ill with heart problems and he is too exhausted to have visitors and making phone calls. So I write him letters to cheer him up.

I am missing my father in law. I cant be down in the city with him today. My dearest, kind, father in law. My closest male friend. We don't have too long with you now. We love you. You are like a rainbow after a storm.

Missing my mom, yet again. Had lunch with my dad and he kept bringing her up, so, of course, that is just going to make me miss her more. Gone too soon.

Missing my beautiful boy. Wearing his shirt brings the memories closer but it doesn't bring him back.

Why didn't you trust yourself? Why couldn't you wait? Summer was almost there.

My heart still breaks for you.

Missing Carol Anne, when I read about a forum friend who lost her friend to booze. Meryle too, and a group of those, about a third who sit at the table of recovery but lose the battle with booze. So many names.

We used to sit around the tables Brit. The statics are one in three. Sort of a morbid illustration of duck, duck, goose. One in three will "get it", recovery... the rest will be jailed, wet brain or die. I run into people in my former home group often... the statistics bear out. That is the saddest thing.

I miss talking to my husband when he was in his right mind and he would comfort me afterwards. He always had such helpful things to say.

Coming up is the month that my aunt, mom's oldest sister, got sick and died. That her best friend was going through cancer treatments, and she began neglecting her own health even more then usual because she was focused on them. For the following month she catered to her best friend and grieved her sister. Then she had a heart attack, coma for almost a month, then died a week later, in July. Her best friend died 6 months later. That is when my depression kicked my butt and I ended up in a hospital.

I miss the people we all were before those series of events.

I am missing my husband in his right mind. I had a memory of him getting on his knees and asking me to marry him and he gave me a new wedding ring. The memory has been with me all day. I loved him so much and he loved me so much.

Severe dementia just plain sucks.

I'm missing my sanity.

Does that count?

I wish my mom was here because my 18 year old son would listen to her when I was not getting through to him. Grammy always made a difference.
