I See You...I Miss You - Leah Stirewalt

I see you everywhere.

-I see you in pictures all over the house.

-I see you in ornaments hanging on the tree.

-I see you in the deer that leap across my path in the early evening hours or the wee hours of the morning.

-I see you on the couch sitting beside me as we watch our favorite Christmas movies together.

-I see you in the kitchen whipping up batches of yummy goodies.

-I see you in your sister’s crystal blue eyes – your eyes.

-I see you in “our spot” in church sitting right beside me.

-I see you in the bathroom using your sink to get ready in the mornings.

-I see you decorating a gingerbread house with Anna like you do every December.

-I see you kissing me goodbye as you leave for work each morning.

-I see you putting out the trash every Monday night.

-I see you helping your mother hang a new light fixture.

-I see you giving announcements in our Connect Group.

-I see you baking cookies to take to the Christmas program outreach night at church.

-I see you saying “I do” to me with a smile on your face, quivering voice, and tears forming in your eyes.

-I see you in the memories that continually flood my mind.

And yet…I don’t see you at all. I miss you Chris…from the depths of my being …I miss you!
