Missing you.

What a gorgeous day!  The sun is kind of out.. it's blocked by the clouds.  But the snow is absolutely marvelous.  I hope to go out and get some shots of the snow before it gets dark.

Missing someone is one of the hardest things you will ever have to do in life.  It's brutal, and I wish I didn't have to miss anyone.  Last September (2010) I lost someone very close to me.  He was like my Nonno (grandfather in Italian), and my best friend.  Even though he wasn't family, he was just as close, and at times closer.  Every time I think of him, I want to cry.  I want him back, and I wish no one ever had to feel like that.  But what really kills me is that I didn't even get to say goodbye.  His cruel, terrible family took him away and put him in one of those awful homes for the last year of his life.  They didn't care about him, and stole him from the people that did.  He suffered from dementia, and it was so painful.  Every day I miss him so much.

I've never really told anyone how I feel about it all, but it's nice to FEEL like you're telling someone when really you aren't.  Because no one actually reads this stuff anyways.
