Close your eyes and think about what you've been missing in your life lately. It could be a person,
Laying in her bed, she could hear Leo quietly playing in his crib and she just thought about all the things she missed over the years. It wasn't often she let herself think backwards any more. She had so much to look forward too and looking back just made her want things that couldn't be had.
It was funny though, the things she missed the most, weren't things at all though... they were the people in her life that probably would have changed the way she was now. Like her Mother and Father... their unconditional love that she'd forgotten until she held her own son in her arms for the first time. Her brother; Theaston; even if he had been a huge pain in the ass when she was little. Her Grandmother who'd been the stability that they'd all needed... the only one to really die in peace. Her aunts... the ones who made everything bright.
And the real friends that had been lost over the years. The ones that had died or left her for greener pastures.
Then of course there were the ones who were living far away who she saw only periodically. Most of whom she hadn't seen since Leo was born.
Yes... she missed her friends.
Laying there for a few minutes longer, she tried to convince herself it was time to get up and face the day.
