"Look What You're Missing"

Memorial Day 2011
It's not that I forgot, I would never forget this wonderful Holiday that we get to pause and celebrate those special people in our lives that are now in a better place.  When I look at this picture and see how many of us there are now (and half are not there) I always wonder what goes through Dad's mind. I imagine when he sees a picture like this and sees what him and Mom started it feels very lonely. I feel like saying to Mom, "Look what you're missing". I wish so bad that she would have been able to stay with us a little longer. I wanted her to see my kids grow into adulthood. I wanted her to see that they are the greatest kids on earth (I think she already knew that), and to be here for me to talk to. I know it sounds so incredibly selfish but some days I just want my Mommy.
