When loved ones leave our lives permanently or temporarily, our memories keep them in our hearts. As we experience the death of parents, spouses, and others close to us, some of us hope for a reconciliation in heaven. Those without this hope must adjust to the final good-by.
Sometimes, we miss people the way they were. All mothers miss their babies and little children as they become adults. We miss our family unit as children go off to college, get married, and move away from home. As our older relatives decline and show signs of dementia, we miss their former selves. As we get older, we often miss our own younger version.
Do you ever wonder what people miss when they are away from you? Perhaps your warmth, hugs, and love, your unique personality, your other qualities they admire and enjoy. Do you ever wonder how you will be remembered and missed when you leave this earth? This could be an incentive to become a better you, to improve your relationships, and to make good memories for those you leave behind.
