Hello, my name is.. sad.

i miss people.. nobody will probably read this but i need to get it out.

Uncle Mitch,
when my mom woke me up that morning to tell me you died.. i was crushed. I miss ironing with you. I miss playing catch with you. I miss riding around on motorized vehicles with you. I miss cooking with you. I miss laughing at your jokes. I miss those plane rides we used to take. I miss how we used to watch the Yankees play at Nana and Papa's house. And i just miss you, and everything you did that put a smile on my face. I love you.


Uncle Marty,
i miss sitting in your living room opening presents around Christmas. I miss eating rosettes with you and talking about school. I miss your surprise visits. I miss your smile. I miss your obsession with NASCAR. And even though i hated it, i miss the smell of smoke when i would talk to you on the deck when you stepped out to smoke. I miss your jokes and how you used to joke about my freckles.. and i miss your bear hugs that would make me lose my breath. I love you.


David Arbaugh,
i miss our random jokes. I miss how no matter what i knew i would see you every Sunday. I miss our totally stupid games. I miss how your lessons would cut me deep because it felt like you were talking straight to me. I miss how you would show up at Friday night football games and surprise us. I miss our movie trips and rides to the "Rio Grande" (Rancho Grande). I miss your laugh. I miss how we would make up the stupidest stuff. I miss your family. I miss that feeling that i got about going to church. I miss GORF trips. Those were the best. And i just miss you, period. I love you.


Willie Tryon,
i miss your jokes. I miss your sermons like cuhrazy. I miss the games we used to play. I miss how you made me take a good look at my life and fix it. I miss how you were always there. I miss that feeling of seeing you every Sunday, and knowing i would see you. I miss 5th quarter with you. I miss your random sayings like "F mother", "F You Linda", "Vengeance the Fish.." etc. I miss our GORF trips. I miss PCM. I miss sitting in the entrance on a rainy day playing Acquire, even though i hated that game. I miss going on trips with you. I miss everything that had to do with you. I love you.


Haley Tryon,
i miss your laugh because its incredibly contagious. I miss you smile. I miss you different hair colors. I miss how much you know about the Bible. I miss your voice. I miss your singing voice because its beautiful. I miss seeing you every Sunday. I miss how nice you are. I miss Genelle's tiger pants (..rawr!) I miss everything about you. I love you.

Lacy Arbaugh,
i miss how funny you are. I miss how no matter what you were always happy. I miss your knowledge of God and how you were always walking the walk no matter what. I miss how i felt so comfortable talking to you. I miss your smile. I miss your funny cracks at Dave's weight. I miss you like crazy. I love you.

i miss and love you all like crazy. typing this will help me from exploding under pressure. i hate growing attached to people because i can't stand saying goodbye.. but its part of life.. and i need to move on.. but i am so grateful i grew to know you guys because you changed my life and you deserve credit for that.
