Missing You (the only thing that stays the same)

Missing you is really the only thing that stays the same anymore. 

I miss making you chocolate Valentine's hearts on a plate or taking you for Valentine's donuts. You LOVED donuts so much.

I miss when you used to come home from school and always came to check on me first and see how my day was going. You always asked me how work was going, and it was my favorite part of the day. 

I miss hearing you playing games in the basement with your buddies. Our house is so quiet without you. When Harrison was here last weekend my brain heard him laughing and thought it was you and my heart skipped a beat before my brain caught up.  

I miss everything...even the bad days, even the worrying, even the stress and anxiety of having a chronically ill child dealing with mental health.

I miss you. Nothing is the same, except that.
