If you look back at your life what do you miss the most.. I miss my mom.. she used to call me everyday after her lunch.. for a couple of years I had trouble adjusting to not receiving her phone calls.. Our pet Choco passed on .. three years ago.. I miss her so much.. I constantly think of her.. she was with me at a very difficult period in my life and she would sit patiently by my bed as if she understood what I was going through.. I miss the town where I grew up, where so many happy memories were made.. I went there last summer and didn't connect with it.. everything has changed about the place. I miss the old library where I used to spend summer afternoons reading books. what do you miss..

Oh there are so many that I miss in the past. I missed my childhood where life was simpler and no fuss about all the things I am facing right now. Those were the time that I can be myself and play like time was not an issue. I remember that when I was child I had lots of it and I could not manage the excess times I have in there it was boring back then but now I seem to miss them a lot that now seems like 24 hours is not enough to finish everything.

@sofssu True I felt like time was too long before and have lots of it. But now time seems to fall short everyday 24 hours seem too fast.

@rsa101 From what I have read it seems times flies fast when things are moving in the middle stages of life.. it slows down once again as we get older..

I miss the life I have back there. I miss going out with friends, be normal without catching my breath every time I walk.

That would be a huge list but what I miss the most is my youth and you know what one can do in one's youth where a senior cannot

@sofssu The things I did when I was young is mind boggling. I did a to and fro 300 steps in New Zealand. Walked miles and miles sight seeing. You know what package tours are Everything is rush, rush rush I did all that. I hate to see my waist now (lol). I had a perfect set of teeth - neighbour's envy owner's pride (lol) How I enjoyed decking myself from top to toe - All this is history now Having said all this I have aged gracefully and with dignity And incidentally Grace is my name (lol)

@allknowing Nice knowing you Grace. I understand the body doesn't follow where the mind goes.. Maybe because I have been through some tough phases in my life I am just happy to be alive healthy and 'walking'.. I was told I wont be able to walk about ten years ago.. just faith and determination has kept me going.. My body doesn't do what i want it to do.. so I adjust with it.. LOL and about the waist the less said the better

We are too old for that dream anymore, besides we are all fathers now and our priorities have changed already.

@Dyvette16 I guess your grandpa was the glue that kept your family together.. I am sure you miss him and the closeness your family once had.. I hope you can become the glue some day.

I miss my father, who just passed away last April 28th. Whenever, I go to our hometown, I miss him because whenever I am there, we always exchange stories and he would order stir fried noodles for all us to eat as our snacks.
