i'm missing you today.

No particular reason,
no particular season.

I'm missing you today.

I miss your smile,
haven't seen it for awhile.

I'm missing you today.

I miss the "Mi Amor"
that greeted me when you walked through the door.

I'm missing you today.

I'm feeling the hole in my heart,
I never thought we'd part.

I'm missing you today.


My first post was one year ago today. As I read back on what my life has been like, I see how blessed I am. I have such great friends, a super supportive family, and the most amazing kids. I have a good life, God has been faithful. When I find myself struggling I make myself look - look at all I do have. I have a good life. I still miss John - that hole remains. And yet life goes on and all the good things are still there. I'm just missing him today.
