Sooner or later, my children will find this.  While I hope to have many more years to share with them, I cannot help but to think of my parents and how much I miss them.  Miss them is such a pitifully weak word for that.  None of us ever know when a visit or phone call that we have will be the last. 

I want my children to know how I feel about them and wish I had the ability to show exactly the depth of those feelings.  These little snipets hardly do justice to those feelings but I am sure I will expand them with time.
