the missing:

[bitchgoddessdm]

Sometimes I miss people horribly. This may seem weird, mainly because I am fairly cold and distant most of the time. But lately (and I am assuming this is due to my advancing age...ugh) I often find myself distressingly introspective and maudlin

*hugs* The missing often sucks. For what it's worth, I feel it, too (and I do think it's partly the fucking advancing age bit...).

Are you able to tell your dad this? I bet he'd like to hear it.

It's good to remember those who you miss...sometimes that's all that keeps pushing us forward.

Beautifully said! I can relate to all of it.

Like most of your readers (I assume), we don't know each other, but I deeply relate to many of your posts, especially this one. My grandfather is in the severely advanced stages of Alzheimer's. He was a brilliant, vibrant, athletic, inspirational man and watching disease reduce him to a helpless, frustrated, disconnected person is terribly sad. I also have a probably-unhealthy attachment to my cats. I still tear up occasionally remembering the first cat I cherished. Sometimes - often times really - I feel like the connection I have with my feline friends runs deeper than the connection I have with humans. At the same time, the handful of truly special people I've lost are still on my mind frequently. I just gave eulogy last month for the woman that helped care for me as a child. I don't know if she felt as attached to me as I did to her, but I feel like there is a hole in my heart where her presence is meant to be. All this being said, I'm not really the sort to blubber about how much I miss people either, but sometimes it's worth

I'm sorry, hon.

*hugs*

I'm curious as to why you think Jason wouldn't miss you if positions were reversed.
