Missing Pieces ...

I've previously written about my intentions to live with the beautiful silence around me, and I have kept to that; but the silence has shown me what is most important in my life. Over the past few days I have come to the realization that my family is what makes my day and who I have become. So my parents and I may have little argument of venial things like emptying the dishwasher and bringing the washing in, but lately I have come to know the value of my parents. It's strange coming home to an empty house, and the difference of having 2 people missing from, the house seems colder. I have learnt to appreciate what my parents have done and what they will do for me in the future. I love that they are currently celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. Its surprising what I  miss most about my parents, the most amazing hugs from my Mum; Dad asking me if I have won anything, even though most things aren't a competition to win; Mum and Dad having their little debates over who has their feet on the couch. It's the little things that I miss the most about my Mum and Dad. I can't wait for their safe return home.
