What do you miss the most?

I miss my childhood and youth really bad, and even though it was less than perfect, the energy I had was unstoppable, and everything was a new and exciting adventure. New friendships were born, milestones were enjoyed, and embarking upon ones journey to gain a foothold in the world to enjoy independence, was the biggest thrill of all.

I miss the days when my children were little, them toddling around the house, their laughs, the sound of the padding of their tiny little feet on the floor... the walks, the talks, watching them grow, and guiding them through life, step-by-step, one day at a time, and just being there for them.

I miss Christmases of the past, where the house was always full and bustling, when music filled the air, and when life just seemed more carefree, and I really miss the days when I'd be busy preparing supper in the kitchen and my kids would come running in and excitedly ask, "what's for supper mom"?

In many ways, a lot of what I miss haunts me and visits me like ghosts from the past, it never goes away, and while mostly silent, the ghosts come to life whenever I reminisce and reflect upon fragments of those lost days, those lost times, never failing to warm me inside while reminding me that life doesn't stand still, and of course, there comes a hint of melancholy attached to.

I could go on and on...

I couldn't have said it better myself. Exactly my same sentiments.
 

#1 - Convenience - I miss just being able to go to the store, pop in, get what I wanted and pop out. I also miss being able to go somewhere and being able to leisurely browse for what I wanted.

#2 - Ease of life - I miss being able to walk somewhere or being somewhere where I don't feel like I need to be aware of where everyone else is and how to move around staying 6 feet or more from them.

#3 - Art - I really miss going out to see the student art at San Jose State or the arts in the various galleries and museums that were open on our First Fridays evenings.

#4 - Live music - I really miss going to a club and seeing an artist or band I love playing. I don't do it that often but last year was a banner year for live music for me and I was hoping to see a lot of bands this year as well.
 
With what's going on in world today I really miss the hugs and kisses from my children and grandchildren. Of course I missed loved ones of mine who are no longer with us. I miss being young and carefree ,going to dances and movies with friends. What I don't miss is going to school. :)
