Do you know what I really, really miss? →[More:]Having someone to talk to in bed.

I used to love that time, a candle flickering, the radio playing softly, when we would just lie facing one another talking about all kinds of things, sometimes trivia, sometimes things that touched my soul.

It's late, I'm buzzed and I tend to get sentimental when I'm buzzed and it's late -- I just wanna send you a hug too.

Gambareh!

We can girl-chat until the wee hours! Except for the whole international calling rate thing. =(

My mom still doesn't sleep in her regular bedroom. She sleeps in one of the smaller, side bedrooms. The big, king-sized bed she shared with my father stays made, 24-7, with its musty green spread. My father died almost ten years ago. As much as they fought, other times, I'd hear them talking old times after I'd gone to bed, or gossiping about this one or that one in the family, or about anything really. I used to love to overhear them talk like that. She says how, even watching tv in separate rooms, it was just good knowing there was someone else breathing in the house.

EJ, for what it's worth, here's a little anecdote of an event that happens regularly: Pi comes home from work, and says to roommate, omg, did you see that bunny on metachat? Roommate says, no wai! did essexjan post more bunnies today? Just to let you know that you touch lots of people's lives.
