Things you miss about someone

[Paddington23]

Just sat thinking about my nan and how I miss our chats and her wicked sense of humour. Has anyone else got something they miss about someone.

Ringing my mum up for a chat about nothing in particular, just to say hello. That's the hardest. I can still ring my dad but he's not much of a talker, whereas mum and I could gab for hours.

Friends who've lost their mums have said that's been the worst thing for them too, especially if they were in regular contact.

I'll see a good Private Eye cartoon or hear something funny on the radio and I automatically start making a mental to tell my Dad before remembering he's gone. He had a brilliantly dry sense of humour.

I miss having a laugh with my dad, we had the same sense of humour. He's got dementia now, is in a nursing home unable to do anything for himself and doesn't respond to or recognise me. Dementia is a bitch.

Yes! Thinking "I must tell mum about that" and then it hitting me that I can't. Happens several times a day at the moment.

The support my sister gave me with my first child. Now I have a second I really miss being able to talk to and visit her.

And of course her brilliant sense of humour.

'a mental note'

Meeting my mum in Tescos. Why she was between calls. She was a care worker. It took me a long time to be able to go there after she passed. Even now I still expect to see her standing in Tescos doorways.

My dad phoning me, at least twice a day.
. It could be annoying at times as hed mostly chat shit. . I can say and laugh about it as he'd laugh and say it him self, but What I give to hear his voice again.

The unconditional love of a parent.

Finishing a good book and thinking "I'll pass this on to Mum, she'll enjoy it" It's been 3 years and it still happens.

I just miss being able to pop into her room and watch midsummer murders she also loved the one with Angila Lansbury.

RedRoseReb, me too. They hate me. My cat was put to sleep nearly two weeks ago, we're having a difficult time with ds1 and I just wanted a Mum for support from a more experienced person who would tell me everything will be okay. At times like these I feel like a rowing boat in a stormy ocean. I just miss the idea of parents who will tell me I'm doing a good job. Who will love me and be proud of me and make me feel safe.
I miss their homemade Christmas pudding.

Being able to tell my late husband funny things that have happened or stuff the kids have done and him offering me a cup of tea and me making him a cup.
