From Ashley's blog

miss you

when i make oatmeal cookies with your recipe, i miss you.
when i get the spaghetti sauce just right, i miss you.
when i enjoy a perfect sunset over the mississippi, i miss you.
when i drive by Corky's, i miss you.
when my mom hugs me just the way you used to, i miss you. 
when i think about that weekend in august, i miss you.
when i see the saved emails from you in my inbox, i miss you.
when i fumble with my sewing, i miss you.
when i have a macgyver-like idea, i miss you. 
when i have a moment of joy, i miss you.
when i use my lock-n-locks, i miss you.
when they play those songs at church, i miss you. 
when i let my mind wander, i miss you.
when i see your perfect penmanship peeking out of my box of cards, i miss you.
when i do even the simplest, most ordinary tasks, i miss you.
thinking of my family this week. 
may your heart be filled with contentment, understanding, memories and warmth.
