I Missed You

I missed you on Thanksgiving, when I got together with family.

I missed you on my birthday, when I went out with friends.

I missed you on New Year’s, remembering the times we had people over and made fun of the celebrities on the Rockin New Year’s Eve Show.

I missed you at the Nascar party, you were supposed to be the host.

I missed you when I was looking for jobs because you were the one I always turned to for advice.

I missed you when I went through a breakup, although I’m sure you realized he wasn’t treating me right.

I missed you so much on Easter that I couldn’t even make it to church.

I missed you again when I started a new job; needing advice and words of encouragement.

And I missed you when I started dating someone new, even though I knew you’d approve.

I missed you in the summer, when we went down to stay at the trailer. Knowing that you loved camping made it even harder.

I missed you on your birthday, because we always made a big deal to celebrate it.

I missed you on Halloween, realizing that you were the one who got me into the holiday. With your spooky setups in the truck for the Trick or Treaters to see.

I miss you everytime I go to church, everytime I find something of yours at the house, or when i hear a certain song.

I miss you when I go to casinos, on vacations, or anywhere we used to go.

Everytime something good happens, it is always bittersweet. Because you should be celebrating here with us.

I carry you in my heart everyday and your memory lives on in my mind.

When I see a butterfly, I think it is you watching over me. A butterfly has wings like an angel does.

Rest in peace angel. Love, your daughter.
