WYNN QUOTES – Missing You…

“I am thankful I have you to miss..”

It’s normal to feel some form of sorrow when we are away from those we hold dear.  Missing special people is as much a part of life, as being with them.  Sadly, we can’t always be with the ones we want as much as we would like.  I feel though I had a personal awakening of sorts after my dad died when I was 16.  Do I miss him?  Sure in some way, every day.  But I am far more thankful that he was here, than sad he is not now.

I feel that transfers to all of the special people that we have in our lives.  Being away from those we really care about is nobody’s first choice.  But when reality occurs, and there is time apart, I find solace in the fact that I am thankful I have those people in my life….that I do miss.  No one is happy about the time apart, but I am far more thankful for the time spent together.  Time together reminds us of how special someone really is, and how much their presence is a part of our personal passion for them.  Then on the rare occasions when absence is reality, I find I am glad I have them in my life…to miss.

We should be reminded that time spent together should always be savored, enjoyed, and never taken for granted.  Whether time apart is for a day, a few days, or many many days, we should be thankful that those special souls have chosen us, and us them, to walk through the world together.  I’m in no way saying that missing someone is a great thing, because it’s not.  But having them in my life…to miss…most certainly, and unequivocally is.

There are lots of nice songs about missing people we all know and they can all kind of run together sometimes, but here’s one from a long while ago.  Well done by the Bellamy Brothers!
