Who do you miss?

[Thepigeonsarecoming]

I miss my dad, I always spend his birthday with him, wasn’t able to this year. I’ve spoken to him a lot on the phone (to the stage he’s told me to go and annoy someone else 😂)

@Thepigeonsarecoming

Thank you

Sorry to everyone missing someone, hopefully once this is over it there will be some happy reunions. To those people missing their own space, hopefully you’ll get a day completely to yourself soon :)

I miss my Granddaughter. I miss her beautiful wee face, her perfect smile, her tight hugs, her climbing all over me when I'm trying to do something. I miss her falling asleep on me and having to carry her to bed but most of all I miss her melting into me when she has just woke up but not quite fully awake yet.

love you wee girl and hope you know that x

@missananke I’m sure she knows how much you miss her :)

I miss my mum, dad, sister and 1 year old nephew so much. Can't wait to see them properly again and give them all massive cuddles.

My best friend and her family. They are are my ‘family’ if you know what I mean and it’s so tough not being able to spend time with them, FaceTime just isn’t the same.

I'm actually not missing anyone

I've never realised that until you asked the question. I feel a bit bad now that I'm not

I'm not missing anyone, the people I love the most are in my home with me.

I know that sounds awful. I speak to my mother and my sister everyday on the phone and we WhatsApp each other throughout the day.

In laws haven't been in touch and haven't even asked about the dc.

I miss being able to drop in and see my family 3 sisters 2 brothers.
I also miss going to the cemetery to tend to dd's grave. It's the one place I go when I'm struggling to cope. I actually feel guilty I haven't been there for weeks.
Sometimes I drop dd2 at nursery buy flowers and go to the cemetery.

No one. Neither are DH or the DCs are either really. Ds1 misses his GF but they text (he's like me and doesn't do phone calls or video chat) and DD facetimes her friends occasionally but has admitted she's quite happy without people! DS2 is probably the most sociable, even he seems fine.
Discovered we really are quite an antisocial family. We visit relatives out of obligation, the only person I ever liked visiting was my Mum and she died last year.
We could quite happily do lockdown for months more.

My fiance 🙈😢 he's Turkish I'm in the UK and we just don't know when we'll get to see each other again. I have good days and bad days but today is the worst yet, been down and tearful all day

My boyfriend
My friends
My colleagues
I only see my family a couple of times a year anyway, and they are not easy to spend time with, so not got to the point of missing them yet.

I miss face to face contact with humans. The only people I get to interact with in person are the supermarket staff once a week. When I go for a walk most people don't acknowledge me, even though I try to smile at everyone I come across as I move into the road or cross the road to keep my distance from them. When someone does smile, or nod or similar it is the highlight of my day.

Sorry for your loss @ParkheadParadise :(

@RichardMarxisinnocent I’m glad such a little thing as a smile makes you feel better :)

Missing MIL who is elderly and undergoing cancer treatment & my genuine friends, Coronavirus hasn’t certainly helped me distinguish who my friends are! I also get the bit about missing peace & quiet, DH working from home, that’s not unusual but DS’ also home and around me all day, I know I shouldn’t complain as some are so lonely atm.

Aww @Roselilly36 wishing your MIL all the best, must be so scary undergoing any life saving treatment at this time

I miss Mickey Mouse and want to go on my Disney World holiday 😭

I miss my eldest DD who is holed up in her student house with 4 girlfriends ( I doubt she's missing us but she did get very worried about us when we caught the virus).
I miss the physical presence of my friends. The chat over coffee in a cafe. Weirdly I miss chatting in the office to my work colleagues.

@Casino218 how are you coping now after being diagnosed? Did it take long for you to return back to full health?

@Casino218 how you are recovered now 💐

Sorry to those who are missing people, it won’t last forever.

Personally I’m not really missing anyone except DM who is in a care home as we’ve had quite a lot of good video calls and been so busy (both working and 2DC) that we haven’t had time to stop and think about missing people. I definitely agree you find out who your friends are, some have disappeared off the face of the planet, with others it’s very one sided. But some have been just wonderful and have done or said the most thoughtful things.

As an aside, I’m really fed up with all the stupid memes now, some people just forward loads of them as if it’s all just one big joke (looking at you in laws). At first they were funny but now not so much.

I’m also very much missing my own space and my cleaner!!!!! I will REALLY miss my kids once they have to go back to school. I like having them here.

It's been long and slow. I'm about 41 days now post first symptoms and apart from some odd twinges in my chest and being much more fatigued I'm a lot better. I think it will be a good few weeks until I can run again though.

We’re shielding due to DH’s medication so we’ve actually been in isolation since beginning of march. I miss my grandson. He’s just turned 5 months and although we FaceTime quite often I worry that when this shitstorm is over (under control/less virulent) he’ll be frightened of staying with DH and I because his only contact for the majority of his life will have been his parents 😔 obviously I miss my kids too, but they still know who I am (depending on severity of hangover) 😂

My son. I miss him so badly.
My granddaughter. I'll miss h6et birthday and wont see her cheeky face when shes opening her presents.
Ive found out that to not be able to hug your loved ones can actually be a physical pain.
