Today was one of those days when I wanted to shout to a clear, crisp January sky, "Ally ally in come free" and have all of my loved ones reappear. I'm not sure why it was that I missed them so much on today of all days. Usually these moments happen at an anniversary or a birthday. There were no birthdays for my dearly departed, nor was this the anniversary of the death of any single one of them. It was just a Monday. And yet I was overcome with a need to SEE them again. Not a picture, not in my mind's eye, but with my real eyes. I wanted to see, touch and feel them again. Have a hug, enjoy a smile, get a kiss on the cheek, share a moment.
I wanted to see them all. My sister and brother so recently gone and far too soon.
My mother and father-in-law who were such kind and generous and loving people who are so sorely missed.
My dad - that loveable curmudgeon with his sharp tongue and sharper wit.
My grandmother, a supurb seamstress and a talented Southern cook.
And my gentle grandfather who never knew the words, "no" or "can't".
I want just a day, just one more day with each of them. But then that wouldn't be enough would it? There would always be that longing for just one more day, one more moment. Ally ally in come free.

OH! Gosh.
I know, I know just how this feels.
So just think of me touching base- home free at this moment and savor your love ones who are here and the ones that left too soon.
Hugs Galore!
