Who are you missing right now?

[missy]

Le sigh..... my late husband. Tomorrow would've been our 30th anniversary. He does visit me in my dreams every so often.

I'm sorry @Vera W, and glad you "see" him occasionally in your dreams. (((Hugs))).

I miss my dog. A few days ago it was 5 months since she died and I have cried every one of those days. There are still many places I cannot stand to go because my memories of her are too strong there. I will (hopefully) be bringing home a puppy in January, but I'm worried I won't ever love any animal as much as I loved my sweet dog.

I also miss my family. They are all in other countries and we do not feel safe travelling to see each other right now.

And I miss one of my horses - who is alive and well! - pretty much any time I leave the barn. I have finally come to terms with not seeing my retired horse every day and I know he's so happy, but I wish this new horse could come live at my house Our partnership is getting stronger every day and it seems crazy that I can't see him whenever I want! Unfortunately, I live in a city and he would probably not be thrilled about sleeping in my dining room.

@inne I am so sorry. I get it. 5 months can feel like 5 seconds.
I am glad you are adding another puppy to your family in January. He/she won't ever take the place of our sweet dog that is gone but will add joy and love to your family and help you heal. Not replace ever but there is always more capacity for love. (((Hugs))).

I am clearing out my garage for it to be dismantled to make room for my campervan/RV, and found some items that belong to my late partner, opening the flood gates, hey ho.

Also, whenever I see my ex-gentleman friend (he is part of my social circle, as well as each other's support bubble) and each time we disagree on something either in person or on FB, I can't help but feel I wish we could still be together, hey ho!

So sorry for those missing someone or a beloved pet!
I miss my pooch. He passed at 17 years old in May and still I miss his adorable face and unconditional love.
More than anyone, I miss my mom/BFF. I lost her (and dad ) nearly ten years ago and still not a day goes by that I don’t think of her/them. ❤

I am a mother too and could not imagine loosing one of my children. I understand from others that it is a heart wrenching pain that you will never get over. It leaves a deep hole in your heart and gut. I am sorry for your pain and loss.

Thank you, Queenie...and I’m so sorry to hear about your baby Maltese. I honestly have not read all the posts but saw Missy’s reply to you.
Tight hugs to you...

As for the new pup - I highly recommend this. I brought Maggie May (avitar) home in June, knowing that my little Quincy would be passing soon. She has helped with the grief and loving her has distracted my love and accepting the death of Quincy has been a wee bit easier because of the life Maggie May brings to our family.

Bless you and may you always have sweet memories.

I was thinking about this yesterday.

I was sorting jewellery, and I remembered how long I had saved for some of my older pieces... Back before we had the sort of income we do now. Back when it was special to buy something unnecessary for a few hundred dollars.

I wouldn’t ever want to give up where I am now, and *who* I am now. I don’t “wish to go back in time”. But sometimes I really miss our younger selves, before the calculations of time and responsibilities flipped over. Spending four hours grocery shopping with coupons at this store and sales at that store would be unfathomable now - who has time for that!? But taking turns on the iPod as we did our circuit was so much fun.

Occasionally crippling nostalgia, I suppose.

@Vera W so many ::HUGS:: love. I hope your heart had a wonderful anniversary celebration with your beloved as your body slept last night. ❤

I get this. I don't want to go back in time either when I really think about it. However, like you I am occasionally nostalgic for being responsibility free and young and healthy and free. I also miss my grandma, our first dog, all my other family furry babies who are now gone and it wouldn't suck to see them again. But like you I love my life now despite all the challenges and I wouldn't want to change one for another. But I wouldn't mind combining it all and having those who are gone back with us in the here and now. And having some of my youth restored as well. Listen, if I am going to dream I dream big. What can I say?

(((Hugs))).

@dk168 I am so sorry for the loss of your SO.
As for your ex gentleman friend...is there no hope of getting back together? Would it be worth exploring? What would you have to lose to try again if you are both willing and free?
I always remember the only things we regret in life are the opportunities/chances not taken. Perhaps worth the risk?
