Ahhh-lone (I wish you were here)

A big empty bed
Plenty of room to stretch out and sleep diagonally if I wanted
I wish you were here

Just me, the dog, and a blog
It’s like living the single life again, only worse because you’re mine but gone
I wish you were here

Peace and quiet
No toys in the middle of the floor to trip over
I wish you were here

House not as liveable
I feel cold drafts despite the furnace that keeps coming on
I wish you were here

Missing those stolen kisses, or were they borrowed?
Cliches can ring so true: “You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone.”
I wish you were here

The king has his castle
And as much time in the bathroom as he wants
I wish you were here

Thanksgiving is about family
It’s not just my family that is gone, it’s a big part of me
I wish you were here

My parents’ eating habits are weird
My dad can’t eat turkey; once we ordered pizza
I wish I was there

I can’t complain
The blessings I have are many, but the best of them are 300 miles away
I wish you were here

Cutlet grows so much every day
Miss him so much it kind of hurts, but it’s OK I guess
I wish you were here

Early flight home Sunday
I’ll be waiting at the baggage claim, more than ready
So glad that you'll be here

*Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!*

Poor T-Bone!!! Hope PF sees this -- although she'll prob get a boo-boo lip and get all teary.

I mean, sheesh -- look at that sad face!!!

Maybe you should post the same pose everyday (same clothes) with ever increasingly pitiful props...empty pizza boxes, beer cans, sad pooch at your feet?

;)

Oh my goodness, you made me sad. But that was beautiful, and I have to say, in retrospect, some of my favorite memories are the reunions that J and I had after unwanted goodbyes...so look forward to that. Hang in there!

Happy Thanksgiving man!

Awwwww how sweet! Now I'm sad first thing in the morning. I hope you are able to have a great Turkey day!

Awww, T, sorry you're so down. Hope you have a great thanksgiving anyhow, and remember though they're gone now, think how great it will be when they get back.

T-bone! Don't make me cry on Thanksgiving! :(

Here's to the return of your love...

Enjoy the day as best you can my friend.

Awww...the poem was sad enough, but then you had to put the pic on there, with the sad face. I'm glad El was here to post some comic relief. ;0) Well, that's giving thanks, of sorts, it's good that you have so much blessing to miss right now, and good that the family will be back soon! Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well, T. I hope the minutes go by like seconds and the hours as if they were minutes (and not vice versa) between now and Sunday.

Even though it was a sad sad poem about a sad sad time, I must admit it made me giggle to see the word "Cutlet" appear in verse. Now that's high art. :)

wow ! thanks for sharing that with us

Awww! Hugs and Happy Thanksgiving!

very sweet

but damn, you look hot (it's the ripped jeans for sure)

haha
