I miss the sense that anything was possible. I miss adventures and discoveries.

I miss

-having summers "off"

-the freedom of nobody knowing where you were or what you were up to every second of every day

- not being "online" or available 24/7

- going to the community pool every day with my girlfriends

- not being responsible for the support or welfare of anyone else, and just... "being"

- having what seemed like unlimitless energy

Sitting high up in a tree reading, swimming in the tank, but mostly I miss my mom.

I miss the simplicity of life. I love all the technology, don't get me wrong but I remember every Sunday we were all home together as a family.
I also miss being excited about everything!! But I got to experience that again when my boys were little :) So much fun watching and participating in that!!

I miss playing with my mother. I was an only child, and she spent many hours playing with me, making doll clothes, paper dolls, and other stuff. She was the youngest of 10, and never really grew up! She's been gone for 20 years and I still miss her every day.

Spending the week with cousins free to play all day outside.
My parents enjoyed the ocean so we were at the beach many days. Plus the ocean was only 2 blocks away. Riding my bike, playing jacks, and hopscotch.
Can I go back and be a kid again.

I think it goes without saying that the thing I miss the most is my parents. But I also miss the days of carefree freedom. Summers were wonderful, swimming all day and evening too, then coming home from the pool and playing with the neighbor kids until it was bedtime. I miss Dad cranking out homemade ice cream while I sat on the top of the freezer so it didn'T move around, and getting that first bowl when it was done. I had a great childhood being the yuoungest of six kids, I was spoiled rotten! And I miss the teenage years, hanging out with friends, and dancing my feet off all the time. I loved to dance!! And I miss the energy and physical abilities to do all those things.

I miss all the things you have mentioned...but the things I think I miss most is the trust and innocence of childhood. I was raised in the mountains of West Virginia. There was so much freedom to play and enjoy childhood. I miss being able to run and skip rope, climb trees, catch frogs. I remember walking in the creek and the frog eggs squishing between my toes.I miss the smell of the barn and our milk cow. I miss my Grandparents and Parents and the feeling that close family brings....so much more that is hard to put into words....

I miss being able to eat ANYTHING and not gain a pound.
