What I Miss

San Diego Momma’s PrompTuesday is to write about something you miss.

Dear 23 year old Trish,

I just wanted to let you know how much I miss you. I miss everything about you. Your fearlessness and self assurance. The way you don’t worry about things because you just know everything in your life is always going to work out.

I miss your patience and your smooth brow. I have little to no patience, and the place between my eyes has a permanent scowl from looking at my husband and children for several years like they each have five heads.

I miss your ability to drink hard alcohol, dance until 4am and still make it to work by 8am. I can only have 3 glasses of wine and fall asleep around midnight. And when my kids wake me at 7am, I feel like I’ve been hit by a Mack truck.

I miss your tits, your stomach and your ass. I was able to make my boobs look pretty close to the way yours do, but it cost me a fortune and I have scars. After having 3 children my stomach will never look like yours. Even if I do lose the 30 pounds of fat circling my waist. Your ass is so perky and smooth. Mine sags and has cellulite.

I miss the way you only have yourself to think of. And the fact that your biggest problem is that crazy roommate of yours.

I know I’ll never see you again, but that’s just the way it is. I should have told you when I had the chance how special you are. I think I’ll always miss you. But I’m pretty happy with my life now

Yours always,
41 year old Trish
