I miss his smile.
I miss how he would wrinkle up his nose and curl up his top lip just to make us laugh.
I miss combing his hair.
I miss rocking him to sleep and singing "You are my Sunshine".
I miss finding his "artwork" on our walls and couches when he found a marker or pen.
I miss how he would say "MAMA" when his sisters were trying to get him to say "DADDY".
I miss him grabbing my hand and pulling me to the refrigerator for a slice of his favorite cheese.
I miss buying little boy clothes.
I miss finding him sitting on the kitchen table and just waiting for me to fuss at him.
I miss how he followed Macy around and did everything that she did.
I miss stepping on little trucks and cars...anything that had wheels that he drove around the house.
I miss how he would take his pacifier out and smile for a picture and then put the paci right back in.
I miss his sweet smell after his bath.
I miss his dirty smell after he had played outside.
I miss looking in the rearview mirror of my van and seeing his sweet face smiling back at me.
I miss him fussing when I turned on the vacuum and his "wrinkled" nose of disapproval each time.
I miss his beautiful brown eyes.
I miss my buddy.

Missing right along with you.
ReplyDeleteI know just what you mean. I miss hearing, "Momma, I love you sooo much." There just aren't enough words to adequately express it, are there?
ReplyDeleteMothers are supposed to complain of the mess, the dirt, overuse of chocolate; not the absence of their child until they stop breathing. I don't and will never understand this - loss of child - subject.
ReplyDeleteYour Mark is the most beautiful baby boy I've ever seen and he will always be that beautiful baby..
Loves,
Esin.
