The Simple Things

I miss being able to call & text you
I miss getting your advice
I miss playing Nintendo with you
I miss having date nights with you and Casey
I miss making you PB&J toast
I miss going to your office just to say hi
I miss getting your help with homework
I miss you teasing me and making me laugh
I miss your dutch oven cooking
I miss camping and 4wheeling

Mostly I just miss spending time with you...

I won't be able to make anymore memories with my big brother, I'll only be able to remember the old ones. Life really is too short especially when it comes to the simple things. I feel guilty for taking these little things for granted when Erik was still here. I hope everyone remembers what Christmas is really about and takes the time to make special memories with your loved ones- because you never know when they will be taken from you. Life won't ever be the same-we will just begin to get used to a new "normal" but even after 2 years, I don't feel like we're there yet.

I'm still trying to remember the simple things. . .
