I'm Grateful For It All

I use to over hear Miki’s conversations with her mom each weekend, as they would bring each other up to date on the goings on of each others lives from the previous week and she would always sign off…”Love you bunches.”  I’ll miss that call that only a mother and daughter can have, but the sign off will echo in our home for a while. 

I’ll miss her falling asleep on the way to the grocery store.

I’ll miss her sheepishly asking Saturday night before going to sleep, if we will have our regular Sunday morning blueberry pancakes.

I’ll miss her walking the dogs religiously, cause now I will have to!

I’ll miss her spitting, after rinsing her mouth, after brushing her teeth…the girl could not spit.

I’ll miss her apple pies.

I’ll miss her doing what she does best…talk.

I’ll miss holding her in the shower as the hot water washed over us.

I’ll miss her next effort toward exercising or eating better.

I’ll miss her recycling efforts.

I’ll miss the love she freely gave to me.

I’ll miss projects she’d come up with that “would only take 5 minutes!”

I’ll miss her endless attempts to get me organized.

I'll miss her kiss.

I’ll miss her giving me my haircut.

I’ll miss the way she made people feel.

I’ll miss her sink into the couch with a hot drink and a book.

I’ll miss following her up a mountain trail…watching her butt!

I’ll miss her devotion to her friends.

I’ll miss her soft skin.

I’ll miss her bad jokes.

I’ll miss her strength and determination.

I’ll miss her baldhead.

I'll miss her gratitude toward life.

I’ll miss looks only she could give.

I’ll miss her smile.

I’ll miss changing the sheets on the bed with her.

I’ll miss her sitting in her tree house.

I’ll miss the feeling of her hugs.

I’ll miss her little hand in mine.

I’ll miss everything about her, even when she was right!

I’ll miss her.
