Blog every day in May- Day 12

Day 12- What do you miss?

I miss my Papa.  The way his farm was when he was still alive.  I miss our gentle cows, the snorting pigs, and clucking chickens that we always chased.  I miss hearing him call me "Little Bit," the nickname set aside just for me since I was a "little bit" of a thing when I was born.  I miss his infectious laugh.  I can hear it now in my head.  I miss hearing him call the cows in and then me trying it too. "Suuuuuuuu-zzzzzzy!" he'd call, and they'd all come round.  There are so many, many things I miss about that man.  What I would give for him to have met Zach.  I think he would have loved him!

I miss life being truly "easy."  While I appreciate all that Zach and I have, I had it pretty easy when I was younger and under my parents' roof.  I hope we can provide that same sense of security for our own children.

I miss college a little bit when I think about the carefree time Zach and I got to spend together.  Although, I definitely wouldn't trade where we are not to go back to college days.  It's nice to reminisce about those times together though.

On a less heavy note,  I really miss the New York and Company store that we had in Evansville.  It's where I got the majority of my clothes and I definitely haven't found a store to "replace" it.  So sad!
