Things I Miss and I Can Never Get Back (an incomplete list)

I miss playing basketball for hours and then talking to my friends for a couple more hours. 

I miss driving around and getting lost with friends.

I miss wondering what I'll be someday.

I miss holding my babies and rocking them to sleep.

I miss my friend Mikey.

I miss reading the comics on Sunday mornings. 

I miss feeling like everything was so important. 

I miss telling bedtime stories. 

I miss buying an album and hoping that it would be better than just the two songs you knew from the radio. 

I miss not living by my old favorite taco place where our first apartment was. 

I miss when my kids went to bed at a reasonable hour. 

I miss building forts with my kids and having sock battles. 

I miss meeting friends at a bar and not knowing if they were actually there. 

There's still so much to miss and I still have so much still here. 

I am happy to remember and so full of gratitude for my current life and situation.
