Annie Lennox took this great Cole Porter song and turned it into a tribute to her brother.
I've been feeling the melancholy of missing lately... realizing, yet again, how short life really is.
I love this and since I don't have my writing mojo on thought I'd share
Who do you miss?
If you had the chance to see them again, what would you say?
I'll share mine in the comments...

Everytime we say goodbye

I'd say mom, I love you so much and miss you. And thanks for the pennies.
I'll always miss my Uncle Bill (died in 1981) and our cat, Mom, who we had put to sleep last June. I wrote my most recent blog about her because I've been missing her lately.
the one person I missed the most, I looked up a few years back... there was much left unsaid between us from the past... we've said it all now & remain close & in touch.
I miss my grandfather. He was the one person who loved me unconditionally. I would hug him tightly & say "I love you"
I miss my mom the most. Everything about her, even the stuff that used to drive me crazy!
Wow, the video is awesome.
I miss my best friend from High School, Maureen. The band reunion I just attended just wasn't the same. One of the girls put her arm around me, looked up & said, "You think she's here?"
I have absolutely no idea what I would say to her....there is just too much. 17 years too much.
Beautiful song....I miss my grandmother badly....I know she would be very proud of me....
I miss my mother-in-law every day. She was my best friend and a great source of advice. She has been gone almost two years, but I still have those moments when I go to pick up the phone and call her.
She was definitely the family matriarch and things have not been the same since she left us.
My hubby and I are so sad that she won't see her oldest grandson graduate from high school and go away to college. It would have been something she would have LOVED!
I would tell my daddy that I was sorry I didn't dance with him. My brother and my best friend that I am sorry I couldn't help you both more in life. My Uncle that I miss his bear hugs and that I Miss and Love them all Very Very Much.
My mom.. I love her, miss her, think of her, and to thank her for all she taught me. I value it now, but didn't realize it during my youth. She was a good mom, thanks for always going the extra mile.
I miss my Mom even though ours wasn't the best relationship. I miss my dad even though I never really knew him (died when I was 4). I miss my MIL, she dies 4 years ago and was a great inspiration and teacher to me. My BELOVED Aunt Betty just died last week, and I will always miss her and her beautiful smile. I miss my dog, only had one in my life. Hugs, Pinky

I'D HAVE TO SAY, MY TWO DAUGHTERS (OF COURSE) AND MY NANNY AND GRANDPA (AKA BUDDEN BUDDEN).
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE I'D BEGIN TO SAY ALL OF THE THINGS TO MY GURLS THAT I WANT AND NEED TO SAY, BUT I'D HUG THEM BOTH TIGHT AND CRY AND SAY HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM BOTH OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
MY NANNY AND GRANDPA WERE THE ONES WHO LOVED ME UNCONDITIONALLY FOR MOST ALL OF MY LIFE, BUT AS THEY GOT OLDER AND MORE FRAIL AND DEPENDENT, THEY GREW MORE AND MORE AFRAID OF THE EGG DONOR AND TURNED ON ME IN ONE OF MY VERY DARKEST HOURS.
STILL AND ALL, I ALWAYS BELIEVED THEY LOVED ME WHEN NO ONE ELSE DID AND WAS A VERY SPECIAL FEEL- ING.
A PERK OF BEING THE FIRST GRAND DAUGHTER, I SUPPOSE.
I'D HUG THEM BOTH, CRY, AND TELL THEM HOW MUCH I LOVED THEM, THANK THEM FOR AT LEAST "TRYING" TO STAND UP FOR ME, AND HOW VERY MUCH I'VE MISSED THEM SINCE THEY WERE CALLED HOME TO B WITH THE LORD.
FUNNY U SHOULD B FEELING THIS WAY, MAVE, I HAVE BEEN, TOO,
FOR ABOUT 2-3 WEEKS NOW.
THANKS FOR SHARING AND FOR PROM- PTING ME TO REMEMBER THE 4 PEOPLE I MISS THE MOST IN LIFE.
I HEART ME SOME MAVEN!
HUGS AND SOME OF MY NANNY'S FRUIT SALAD...

My Dad died in 1991 and I still miss him. My favorite cat of all time, Stripe, died in 1992, ad I miss him too. My friend, Suki, took her own life in 1966 --- she was a very wonderful individual and nonconformist, and a good friend at a time when I didn't have many --- it was such a waste --- she would really loved the 70's and a lot else ..........

I forgot to mention why I miss my uncle and cat, and what I would say. That's what I get for posting in the middle of the night. lol!
I miss my uncle because he was the loudest, most obnoxious, crudest man I've known. I knew it was all a cover for the sweetest, kindest person I've ever known. I'd tell him, "Thank you for giving me my sarcastic, twisted sense of humor."
I miss our cat because she was the sweetest animal. She was always there when someone needed comfort. I'd say to her, "You were a pain in the @$$ sometimes (what cat isn't?) but watching you roll around in your catnip made me laugh like crazy. Thank you for entertaining me."
Sorry you're feeling blue:( Sometimes it helps to go ahead and let yourself have a good cry.
I miss different people at different times. Some who have passed and others that live away. All my loved ones are special to me for their own unique qualities so it depends on the situation and frame of mind I'm in as to who I miss at that given time.
I hope that writting mojo comes back full force.
☺SMILE☺
I'd say thank you. Sometimes people's lives aren't meant to be with each other, but I'm so thankful for the time we had together.
Hey all,
Thankyou so much for taking the time to share who you miss. Your words have provided me with a lot.
It has really impacted me that the things that drove you most crazy you miss the most.
I'm taking that as a life lesson.
And this, from someone anonymous...
"I'd say thank you. Sometimes people's lives aren't meant to be with each other, but I'm so thankful for the time we had together."
The person I've been missing lately is one of my best friends. But because we've both changed, grown in different directions, and moved on I've hesitated contacting her.
The above was exactly what I needed. So, to anonymous, thankyou.
I too have been a bit melancholy lately. Is it something in the air? Is it the long cold winter? I don't know.
There is someone I miss and I don't think I need to tell you who that person is. There has been no one, before or since, that compares. And if given the chance, I think I would say "please" though I know in my heart that it would do no good.
