What Do You Miss?

[MickMan]

I miss someone to just say, "It's ok." Or, some to laugh at your stupid jokes. I miss, someone to listen to your woes and not judge you. And, someone to say, "Good Luck", when you are embarking on something big. I think mostly, I miss someone to say, "baby, you have had a long tough day, let me make you a cup of tea and I will take care of everything for you."

[spritzerJ]

I miss oregon. hippies, McMenamins, the voters guide in the mail, diversity, wine oh the wonderful wine, beer and coffee, green so much green your teeth hurt. people that can drive in the rain, use a middle turn lane and grocery stores open past 9pm. :seeingstars:

Teddy is always telling me that I would love Oregon...had I known about the wine I would've believed him sooner! And as a native New Englander....I gotta say...you nailed it right on the head. We are AWFUL drivers....but CT is by far the worst...lol At least NOW you can buy wine on Sunday....albeit not Oregon wine ;)

:wine:

[LipstickLola]

I miss my horse, having horse hair on my t-shirt, peppermint papers crumbled up in my pockets, I find them days later.
I miss him nuzzling my neck.

Come to think of it, I miss my neck being nuzzled by her.

I'm just missing....

My best friend, the one I would share all my thoughts and dreams with.

[Leigh]

I miss feeling like i'm missed, wanted & needed

[Kent]

I miss having a girlfriend to love and share my day with her...

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

I miss a lot of things but in this month I always miss my mom although she has been gone for almost 40 years now. I miss hearing a voice full of feelings for me. Hearing it will be okay, you can do this, I am here for you. I miss saying good night to someone as I kiss her gently and crawl into bed with her to sleep the sleep of fulfillment. I am okay with being single I just miss not being single and the little things that come with that.

[cinnamongrrl]

I miss peace and tranquility....

[SleepyButch]

In the generic sense now, I miss the knowing that someone is waiting for me at home or cares about my well being. I miss having someone know me.. all of me. I miss being able to totally let my guard down and be myself with someone. I miss the little notes about loving me that are left on the fridge, under the pillow, in my suitcase.

I miss the days where I was actually happy.. I mean truly happy. I have faith it will happen again but until that time.. I miss it.

[Nomad]

i miss the smell of that "right" person on my skin and the sound of the "right" voice growling in my ear.

[Miss Scarlett]

i miss the innocence of times gone by...you know, when something triggers a memory of how things were and the memory causes you to try to recapture the feeling at that particular time...you come close but can never quite recall that actual feeling...i suppose it's like that so we keep moving forward...still it would be nice...just once...

St. Augustine Beach is da bestest beach evah!!! ^5.
MY fave spot is at base of Bridge of Lions, Fort Side...on that bench!! And Sunset Grille!!

[Tony]

The scent of a woman. Falling asleep with her in my arms, her knowing she's safe. The prodding, encouragement & calming effect only a woman I love has on me. The responsibilty of being Hers.
All of it.

OMG, I soooo agree with you!!! My family has a home on A1A near Panama Hatties. You step off the porch right onto the beach. When I was home I stayed there every weekend. I miss it terribly. :)

[Nomad]

hearing the good morning smile in my Someone's voice. knowing it's there even before i turn around.

[easygoingfemme]

Not directed about any person in my past, but in general:

Having those morning moments wrapped up together before starting a day.
Love notes hidden in sock drawers and lunch boxes.
Sharing the happiness of the other coming home.
Cooking what I know my love wants to eat.
Knowing how to pair a hard day with a dinner that might make things a little bit better and smoothing it out for the rest to unwind.
Having someone there for me when it's hard- having a safe space to say I've had enough, and to just crash there and be held.
Having someone there when I have a bad dream.
Having someone there to hold me when the scary movie I insisted we watch gets to be too much.
Having someone look me in the eyes with love in theirs.
Having someone who knows everything about me, and who I know all about. And still want to be together after all that learnin' is done.

Absolutely LOVED the dolphin cruise on the boat there by Santa Maria.
I LOVED when the hospital was down there by the Coast Guard Facility now.
Lurve lurve lurve St. Augustine and would live there if could find enough roomies to afford it. Not many people grasp that that is the FIRST City in the US!!!
Have to confess to riding the Merry Go Round close to the Fort..many occasions...smiles, LOVED when the Old Par 3 was there and I would drive the old Model T's...
Sooooo many changes over the years....

Sitting here in the ER I miss having someone here beside me telling the dr there's no way she is leaving my side.

I miss the crystal clear blue ocean. I want to run barefoot in the sand until my legs can't take one more step. Then I will lie on the shore sweaty, smiling at the sun and let the salt water wash over me. I need that.
It's calling me. It's time again. :)

Team sports and the camaraderie that comes with it.

I miss the way my life was 5 yrs ago.
so many lessons learned
if i could go back i would take a different road
not of spent the way i did
before i had a small breakdown
i miss having a best friend who i can be so fukin stoopid with.
i miss my care free life.
i know there is a lesson in all of it
one day it will all make sense
until then its one foot in front of the other
sometimes small steps
sometimes big ole balls out steps
some day i will be able to free my mind

When I was a child every night after bath and before bedtime my grandmother would brush my hair 100 strokes. She would sit me at a little stool in front of her chair and just slowly and quietly run the brush down my hair. I was always an energetic child but this simple act soothed me like nothing else could. This went on until she passed away when I was 15.

I miss having someone to brush my hair. I suppose that sounds dreadfully silly but especially on stressful days I think it would be so lovely and comforting. So comforting I almost believe I could have major surgery without anesthesia so long as someone brushed my hair beforehand.

No.I was asked why i go there and i didnt really have an answer.I think i know my answer now,to get a second chance.....

I have been working on a song I am writing recently that is just about finished. The song is called Grandmas Knee. As I write it, and contemplate the meanings of the words I choose, I miss my grandmother very much.

I miss her calm wisdom and her gentle understanding. I miss how she never treated me as a child, but always as a young woman who was still learning who I was.

I hope shes proud of me....

she was the first person I ever heard say she was proud of me...she held me when I cried and crumbled... Supported me when I did what I had to do to make things better ...stood up for me ...and had my back... she has always been my hero and best friend.
The amazing woman who had no DNA in common with me ...was my mother and Momma ..

I look at my nephews and their childhood is filled with video games , fancy toys , having to stay in a suburb house filled neighborhood not being able to venture off bc you can't trust anything or anyone and its sad in a way .
I wonder when they are my age late 30s what they will miss as youngins??? Missing video games ???
Crazy how big city and country lives are for kids and generations of recreational activities change for youngins.
I had a fun fun fun time as a child playing all sorts of stuff outside :)

i miss

cuddly, holding in bed

kisses

talk and laughter

watching the movie together

[DanceFoolsDance]

Being completely loved and accepted, in all ways. Having someone I can tell anything to at any time. To face the days with, good and bad. Being someone's rock and vice versa. Reciprocity is what I miss the most. Sharing dreams, values, goals...life. Never being sick of each other. Or having to explain every little thing, because we know each other so well.

[imperfect_cupcake]

I was chatting with a friend today and asked her "what do you miss most about being with someone?"

I think that, for me anyway, I miss having someone to go home to, to go to bed with (and wake up beside)-to just share a life with.

I had an ex once who would rub lotion on my feet, knees and elbows while we watched a movie together. I miss that little gesture-I am bad to forget to "lotion." lol

It is the little things that I find myself missing.

So, I wanted to ask the same question here...

What things do you miss about being in a relationship?





Not a whole lot, to be honest. I've been single now for almost a year, but the previous relationship wasn't very committed we were just very close friends.

It's been over two years since my marriage broke. It was very hard to be alone and to do without sleeping with someone, having someone to do things with on that level of intimacy. It was incredibly hard.

I still had sex and casual interactions and hanging out. Which I suppose was like a slow weaning off of being so involved with someone. I did a stint on celibacy and no dates for 8 months to just focus on me completely and school.

Now? I don't really miss generic things about relationships. I still miss the level of friendship I had with my exwife and my sexual friendship with T. I don't specifically miss them, I am actually very ok with not being with them lol
But I do miss the level of depth of understanding and linking.

I get very similar with my platonic friends and the casual sex I very occasionally hook up with. But not to quite the same depth. The trade off is, I have a high level of freedom and independence I could never have if I was involved. I never have to explain myself or excuse myself to anyone. And I do start getting irritated/resentful if I have to explain my absence/silence to someone. I feel that's answering to someone and I don't like it.

But I do miss the weekend morning layabouts and sex and having a day adventure, holding hands.

I can have adventures with my mates, I can tell my friends anything at all, be utterly open with them. And they know me incredibly well and thus totally accept me. I can cuddle a bit with them and with my sex friends. I'm far from lonely and I'm pretty content with my life as is. And I don't think I'd be willing to give up my independence for that. But I do miss it a little, now and again.

Interesting timing, I haven't missed much since the separation but since knowing that I have to have some surgery, I miss knowing that there is that someone who knows me so well and intimately to be there when I need to be transported to or fro. To be there when I first get home, to not have to arrange for these things prior etc. These were the times when she appeared to be a partner.

[fatallyblonde]

I DO miss the stereotypical things... because PTSD and FSD have taken so much of them from me... been feeling dead and numb for so long... would like to just feel again and feel easy... butterflies in the stomach... the thrill of anticipation... the little giddiness... melting when she puts her arm around you... the warmth of a hand wrapped around yours... the solid comfort of a shoulder to rest against... feeling intoxicated on another person... I'll never get back the idealism and hope of my youth... but gosh experiencing the sweetness of some of these feelings... last night i was feeling them again... they are lovely. They generally lead to pain, of course, but... at least they prove I'm still human, still alive.

[Contessa]

I miss those intensely romantic kisses, soft cuddling, doing things together..be it running errands or watching TV, taking a walk, going to the beach...traveling somewhere together and sharing that adventure...Gazing into each others eyes with that longing...

[storyofmylife]

I miss hys hugs and kisses ....
I miss waking up next to hym ...
I miss hym being here and showing
me all the Love I can possible feel deep
down my soul ♥

[The_Lady_Snow]

Sleep......

[JustLovelyJenn]

The days when everything wasn't an argument.

[Daktari]

Having full oxygen uptake

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

I miss me

I miss living without fear

I miss feeling loved unconditionally

[WingsOnFire]

I miss being held and protected from all the things that go bump in the night...

I miss feeling completely whole.

[anaisninja]

I miss:
- a soft place to fall at the end of a hard day at work
- someone to hold our seats at the cinema
- someone to get rid of scary bugs in the house
- someone to help with household projects

[ConCrtAnge1]

I just miss..

I miss it all.. The kisses, the cuddling, the secure feeling.. I just miss it all..

[Teddybear]

I miss......

the smell of her hair when I hold her close
the way she feels when I hold her
sitting beside her as we watch movies or eat a meal
seeing her eyes light up when she smiles or laughs

I get to see all of that on skype but its so much more in person that is what i miss

[Duchess]

Florida:theisland:

[Mel C.]

Feeling connected to someone...planning our life together...experiencing things with someone

[RockOn]

a helper to pick the splinters out of my fingers

LOL!

okay, seriously ...
same as what Mel C. posted

[C0LLETTE]

Me too! Me too!

[RockOn]

Collette, do you also get a lot of splinters? ;)

[C0LLETTE]

I get woodies.

[RockOn]

LOL! I get those too sometimes.

[Leigh]

i miss holding hands, cuddling, kisses just because, exchanging I love you's, the physical intimacy, the intelligent conversations which pique my interest even more, getting to know someone better and knowing they want the same things as I do :-)

[Mel C.]

Spooning...big spoon or little spoon...I miss both :(

[SaltyButch]

I miss those looks, the ones that only the both of you know what they mean..the conversations had while cuddling, the first kiss of the day...

[bobbi46]

My Wife . Its been just over seven years since she passed..

[Barb42]

I miss her voice..
I miss the pic.'s & video's...
I miss the text messages...
I miss her...

[LoyalWolfsBlade]

I miss the feel of a woman's hand gently running through my very short hair. Especially on haircut days and when I can't sleep since it was always a guaranteed way to help me fall asleep

[Mel C.]

Climbing into bed and waking her up at night. Her waking me up in the morning.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I miss being needed...

[Cole]

I miss my partner next to me in bed...

[Mel C.]

I miss having someone who genuinely cared about me and my needs. Actually caring how my day went, how work and family were doing, my health, etc. I didnt realize it would be a challenge to maintain relationships that are mutually beneficial. Oops!

Note to self- remember to tell her again that this a great quality she possesses.

[Smiling]

touch

More than anything, I miss touch. There are some days when I feel like I would give my left arm for a warm embrace. And as wonderful as it can be to be in love and have someone around to share life with, I can do quite well without it; and I can certainly take care of my own sexual release.

However, what really has a deleterious effect on my physical and psychological well-being is a general lack of touch. Not being very well-acquainted with anyone locally has made me acutely aware of how important touch really is. It literally changes everything for me.

[starryeyes]

I miss being genuinely motivated to exercise. Baby steps! I'll get there again :)

[MasterfulButch]

Having someone to quirk my eyebrow at :eyebrow:

[SleepyButch]

I miss having a femme get weak in the knees when I am embracing/kissing her. That's definitely a wonderful feeling knowing someone is reacting to you in that way.

[giggleluver]

I miss having phone calls, song dedications, pet names, running baths for them/ me, flowers for no reason, walking hand in hand, help into the vehicle, being looked at while getting ready for a date the smell of their cologne on my dress, kisses on my neck....being held from behind...

[cinnamongrrl]

I miss the Blue Ridge and the Blue Grass of the Blue Ridge...

I miss my family

I actually miss snow... Imma freak

[A. Spectre]

i miss....

the aroma of Her long hair cascading around my face early in the morning.

Her sideways furtive glances when she wants to get close.

cute little notes of 'i miss you' tucked away in my suitcase.

hours of conversation holding hands. figuring shit out. together.


i need to move on.......

[Daktari]

Waking up to tits in m'face! :canoworms:

[RockOn]

Her helping me by picking the wood splinters out of me after a full day of wood working .... my supervisor did that last week for me ... while he was picking, that is what I told him. He had a great knife with a hook on it. It did a terrific job. He gave it to me.

I guess that sounds luke I am not much amiss .... I am actually really good with my 2 canine children.
:)

[JustLovelyJenn]

I miss the romance of childhood winters.
I miss days in snow suits and snow that seemed to be ten feet high. I miss hot cups of cocoa and snow ball fights. I miss sledding and snowmen and mischeif. I miss the comradere of children with a unified world clouded in white. I miss tunnels and igloos and carefree days.

[JDeere]

Someone cooking matzo ball soup for me!

[femmsational]

Body on Tap shampoo.

:vigil:

[A. Spectre]

i miss my dad.

this will be the first christmas without him. no more baseball games, no more teasing each other about our personal politics, no more taking him to florida where he drove all the widows crazy with his charm.

i love you dad, you kept us safe and taught me the value of family.

[starryeyes]

I miss running everyday. I will be changing that today! :)

[Blade]

I miss phone conversations with my best friend

I miss my neighbor, she LOVED Christmas

I miss all 4 of my grandparents, especially at Christmas time

I miss having little people in the house to do Santa for

I miss simple times, in these always busy times

I miss good wholesome tv shows

I miss the feeling of safety, like not worrying about my family when they are out and about

I miss when people had time to take care of each other

[chai~]

the spark created from a first kiss~

[cinnamongrrl]

I miss social interaction. It's been forever since I actually went OUT and did something...

[Orema]

Sometimes I miss doing things as a couple like ....

Waking up late on the weekend and playfully arguing about who will get the paper or make the coffee, or who will run out for freshyly made muffins.

Occasionally flirting with each other as we independently walk around a bookstore or record shop.

Beating her at chess and dominoes.

Getting lost when driving around a new area and having fun while blaming each other.

Tender caresses after making love.

Sometimes ...

[JustLovelyJenn]

I miss snuggles and cuddles.

[MsTinkerbelly]

I miss hot water...darn tank went out this morning! Brrrrrrrrrrr

[SleepyButch]

I miss having the bare skin of another under my finger tips.

[C0LLETTE]

I miss the days when most women's clothes didn't come in size 0 and size -2.

[imperfect_cupcake]

I miss critical thinking type threads.

I miss super long verbal conversations with someone I am sweet on

I miss going out for dinner or the pub in dapper clothes

I miss big genderqueer-dyke regular events and being able to catch up with lots of people in one venue

I miss good Indian food, especially Bangladeshie

I miss Turkish shops

I miss three hour sex a thons

I miss dinner parties, a lot

I miss seeing groups of butches regularly. I got to do it recently and it was like standing by a waterfall and breathing ionized air. I felt totally refreshed and charged up. It's not the same seeing a butch here and there on the street or in the drug store or grocery store. Actually socialising, chatting, laughing and hanging out with *plural*, butches, makes me feel normal and happy. I miss that too. Gosh, my life may be queer, but it has very little butch - as group socialising - in it these days. I miss my femme mates, don't get me wrong, but I feel a bit like being on an island with lots of great people, except for the gender that gives you a lift, a complimentary tension and charge.

I'm not trying to fetishishise here but butches, can you imagine a world where there are no feminine women? Not even heterosexual ones? Not on tv, not in the magazines, not on the street (or if there is it's rare), it's all masculine women and men. Imagine how excited you get for a moment when you'd see one?

Yeah. That's kind of a femme thing a lot of us miss. Just seeing you all. Just for a moment.

[Kenna]

I miss being in the kitchen with Momma D as she made several holiday favorite treats like chocolate lush and peanut butter buckeyes. ...she never would let anyone help, but damn I miss sharing time with her.

And I miss tender moments as someone plays with my hair...

[girl_dee]

[SNIP} I miss critical thinking type threads.


[/SNIP]


I was just saying this in the chat room the other day. I am ready for some conversation other than what I had for breakfast, even though I love those short and sweet responses.

[JDeere]

VALOMILK's! I need to go to Cracker Barrel and get some.

[Bèsame*]

The excitement of Christmas while living at home.

[EnchantedNightDweller]

constancy :praying:

[C0LLETTE]

I miss cigarettes, booze, fatty foods and Elvis.

[JDeere]

Getting texts from that someone special.

[Barb42]

The long conversations..

[Kenna]

I miss the day when a coffee maker had less buttons, bells and whistles than my car radio did.
*mumbling about dang clock and delay timer*

[cinnamongrrl]

I miss all things Asheville....the coffee, the feel, the people...the mountains especially...it is home...

[Shystonefem]

Dogs! I miss Jake, Manny and Koda (three of my 5 dogs).

[homoe]

Human interaction. I miss the days when you could make eye contact and greet someone either in a elevator or just passing each other on a sidewalk ~

[JDeere]

As a single person, I miss dating, true dates not this new stuff kids do these days.

Folks who don't play games, lie or cheat.

[C0LLETTE]

I miss the days before you needed a degree in chemistry to read a food label.

[FlaFem84]

Cuddling & being in someone's arms.

[homoe]

I miss the days when if you had a crush on someone, you could phone just to hear their voice then hang up:eyebat:

[JustLovelyJenn]

I miss him being in my bed.

[gotoseagrl]

Looking forward to coming in contact.

[kittygrrl]

goodness:tea:

[JDeere]

Being able to eat a home cooked dinner with a girlfriend.

[JustLovelyJenn]

I miss having friends over to my home...

... this will be remedied very soon!

[Blade]

My give a damn. I mean there are some things I still give a damn about, but most things are given to much importance that really are not that important. So my give a damn aint broke. Im just much more selective of what I give a damn about

[WingsOnFire]

Ohhhh I have missed BFP!!!!! Work has been extremely exhausting the last 6 months but life is awesome...

Spins in circles.. I am home... I missed you!!

[JustLovelyJenn]

Ohhhh I have missed BFP!!!!! Work has been extremely exhausting the last 6 months but life is awesome...

Spins in circles.. I am home... I missed you!!

OMG, I missed YOU!!! Hi sissy!!!!

[Jedi]

I miss spooning!!!!!!

[WildHorses]

I miss kissing my daughter and grandson good morning.
I miss knowing that my mom, grandma and aunties are around.
I miss my mom saying something is "bitchen".
I miss my sisters, my cousins and my Dr. Seuss books that use to arrive in the mail.
I miss romper room, captain kangaroo, sheriff john and hobo kelly.

Oh, and Bozo, My Favorite Martian, Courtship of Eddie's Father, Lost In Space, original Twilight Zone, Kolchak: The Night Stalker,
Colombo, Police Woman, Dragnet, Speed Racer, Dark Shadows, Bonanza, Combat, Rifleman, The Big Valley and many more!

[LilyCat]

[SleepyButch]

I sometimes miss my darker hair but I hear silver is the new black soooo.. I'm okay most of the time lol.

[JDeere]

Having my back rubbed on a regular basis!

[cinnamongrrl]

My family

My cat

[Barb42]

Her smile.. Her lips.. Her I miss her..

[anotherbutch]

I miss simply holding hands.

[JDeere]

A restful nights sleep!

[TruTexan]

I've been missing being pain free the last 8 plus years. ARRRGGGHHHH !

[JazzyLou0102]

I miss her sweet nose
I miss the dimple on her right cheek
I miss her presence on this Earth

Jazzylou

[C0LLETTE]

I miss Doctors who gave you more than 10 minutes of their time to discuss your issues. My vet gives my dog more than that.

[Sammy583]

I miss having someone cuddling with me before bed & sleeping beside me

[JDeere]

Her massages!!!!!!!

God knows I love being her practice massage body!

[Sweet Bliss]

I miss genuine conversation.

[Humanesque]

I miss when a handshake meant something.

If two people didn't get along with each other they left each other alone.

That must be just hopeful dreaming.

So I will make the best of today
watching the prompters as everyone strolls by for pride having jovial
laughter with my friends.

[Tierney]

When people told you something, that they truly meant it.

When someone conversed with you, they actually were conversing with you and not doing other things at the same time.

I also miss being young sitting in front of the tv watching Batman in my jammies and not having a care in the world except to wonder if I should have another glass of chocolate milk.

[fever]

Being spontaneous. I love mystery trips on the weekend, hearing about a concert or event and hopping in the car and going. I look forward to being that woman again, once this hip is fixed.

(w)

[Shystonefem]

I miss my parents and my brother.

I miss my seclusion and often wish that people didn't visit as much.

I miss my friend who is now among the walking dead, a slave to heroin.

I missed being held, for about 5 minutes last night, til it got too warm under the covers.

I miss the days when people weren't so vendictive and didn't search out things to be offended by.

I miss my dogs that I haven't seen since December.

I miss being a kid with no worries and no responsibilities.

I miss the Harry Potter movies......

[Blade]

My free time!
All work and no play makes Blade very unhappy

[Chad]

Love
Laughing
The looks across a crowded room
Holding hands
Dancing in the kitchen
Cuddling
Spirited chats
Cooking together
Peace

[Blade]

My free time!
All work and no play makes Blade very unhappy

OK I'm done,
I MISS
Working
Getting up at 3:30am
Long hrs at work
My stupid boss and agadamvatin crew
My pay check or I should say the rest of my check cuz I am getting 1/3 which I am thankful for

I miss enjoying life
Going and doing what I please when I please
Camping
Fishing

I MISS
FOOTBALL!

[homoe]

My Mind! :praying:

[Chad]

My Mind! :praying:

I lost my mind years ago!! Haha

[homoe]

I miss those old walk-in phone booths where one could slide the door behind them for not only their privacy but anyone's within ear shot!

[C0LLETTE]

I miss those old walk-in phone booths where one could slide the door behind them for not only their privacy but anyone's within ear shot!

Don't know about where you are, I think leaving them open to air out was probably by order of "The Health Department"...if you get my drift.

I miss cars that looked like ocean liners, had fins, had metal radio antennas and trunks you could park a Honda Civic in.

[kittygrrl]

I miss chivalry ...it will hopefully comeback someday..probably after i'm very gone :)

[C0LLETTE]

I miss chivalry ...it will hopefully comeback someday..probably after i'm very gone :)

Yeah, I miss the jousting , too.

[homoe]

I miss cars that looked like ocean liners, had fins, had metal radio antennas and trunks you could park a Honda Civic in.

Well yes the smell BUT I was thinking more along the lines of not having to hear some idiot talking on their cell phone!

[Ladybug]

I miss having spontaneous, deep conversations about the most random topics, that could span many hours.

I miss having a hand to hold. And knowing, at the end of the day, there would be someone out there that understood my intricacies, and who I was safe sharing them with.

I miss the stability of having a companion there. I guess after being with her for 10 years, it goes without saying that it will take lots of adjustment to move forward.

[anotherbutch]

I miss holding hands...and just a simple touch...a smile... a wink...

[Bèsame*]

I miss having a pool in the back yard. Being able to come home and kick off my shoes, to walk back and forth on the first step. Stirring up the water, making waves, hearing the sound of the water as it moved around my ankles. Then sitting on the edge, looking up into my neighbor's huge tree, watching the leaves flutter.

That calmed me. The troubles of the day swished away in the water.

[TL1]

Playing with the boys next door... We would Ride bikes, play tag, climb the hill that was huge and rock like. It looked like a mountain to us kids.

Also miss a dog I had as a kid named cricket. He was the best.

[BullDog]

Long letters written and received, long conversations, laughing together, falling asleep together, having mutual plans and goals, passionate kissing, passionate love making, the sound of a beautiful woman's voice.

[Nattih]

Having someone to talk to when I am scared or uneasy.

[anotherbutch]

I miss my big sister and my lil brother...lost them both to cancer. My brother has been gone for 4 years and my sister for 2 years. They have both been in my dreams a lot lately.

[Degotoga]

People that do something because it's the right thing to do, not because it's self-serving and/or popular.
