Go to the pet store just to hang out.
Giggle thinking about you fighting over gum & talking bakery lady out of a cookie at IGA.
Love watching Funniest Home Videos and wonder if your watching also.
Pray every time I get an email or text that it is from you.
Without you
I don't...
Play hide-n-seek.
Build forts out of boxes.
Make card houses.
Setting up the tent and sleeping out under the stars.
Go outside to pick berries.
Go to the park for a picnic that we packed together.
Nighttime fires for either making Smores or having hot cocoa.
Go to the park to play tag or race obstacles courses.
Make Christmas cookies.
I will probably
never again…
Wake up to find Boo Boo sneaked in to bed with Daddy.
Go bowling and watching you improved every time.
Taking you skating and sometimes trying myself.
Watching you climb the apple tree.
Going to the African Safari when Buffalo almost came in the van.
Getting you ready for school then take you to bus stop.
Taking turns reading bedtime stories.
I Get Sad sometimes
remembering…
You helped make dinner, especially putting peppercorns in the soup.
Taking a long walk down to the corner store and talk to Bob.
Going to IGA to surprise you with an apple pie.
Driving around on the tractor with you, or Christmas time to see the lights.
Just talking about your day at school and your friends.
And I am saddest
thinking of when…
Teaching you to bait a hook and seeing how much you loved fishing.
Dairy Queen trying new flavors then sharing to see which one we liked most.
Packing lunches & drinks and going to the pool all day until closing.
Bedtime, when we would read stories & Boo would sneak into bed with Dad
sometimes.
Hearing you laugh when Daddy pulled his own name out of chore box.
Etc.., from hear to moon, Smores, Infinity.
M.E.
