Missing you...

You know who you are...family and friends who have seen us in our Senior Prom clothes...who lived with us in college...friends who were at our wedding...friends who have been there through moving houses, to the birth of our babies, to Baptisms and First Communion. Friends and Family who we spent holidays with, who threw parties and celebrations, who mourned the loss of my dad, and helped us plan a funeral. Family and Friends who took us on trips, showing us new places, and loving us despite our flaws...Family who loved us with braces, who sewed costumes and dresses, and who took care of us when we were sick. For all those who ate dinners at our home, who took seconds (even when it wasn't that good), and for neighbors who stopped by when the house was messy, just to say, "Hello" or to bring cookies. Parents of students I taught who babysat my children, former students who still keep in touch, and friends we met through scrapbooking and sports...friends we met and whom we love through our children's preschool and elementary schools...from serving together at fundraisers, to throwing baby showers and graduation parties...to those who came to our "Goodbye Picnic" last June...I miss you, and I wanted you to know.
