Missing you So Much that it Hurts....








I miss you Um Naief. I can't stand it. The house is so empty and quiet. I thought I liked that before but I guess with you being here for almost 3 months, I have changed. I go around and everything that I touch or look at reminds me of all of you. Everything.

I miss you all so much that it hurts. I have never been so lonely and sad. Never in my life. I have not slept, I have not eaten, I have cried with Mom for 3 days straight. If only you knew....

"If Only's", "What If's" and we "could have", "should have", "would have", keep going around around around in this head of mine.

I love you with all my heart. I say it not enough and show it less often.

I can't stand that you are gone. So so so far away...

Until another day we will be together. If only it were tomorrow.

If only.

Bittersweet indeed, but at least you did get to spend time with them. Cheer up Jahooni. Cheers!!

It is soo hard when family is far away. I feel terrible for you. Force your sister to get a webcam or something so that you have some "visits" with her and the baby.

A very touching post, Jahooni. I live 700 miles away from my family and best friends. It aint easy!

Jay said...

I'm sorry they had to leave Jahooni. It's always so hard to live so far apart. Thank goodness there is the internet and video cameras and webcams and all that great stuff. It's not the same but it's better than nothing!

kara said...

yeah, that's pretty much how i would feel if the waif moved to bahrain. or anywhere else. you have my empathy.

Jahooni said...

Thanks everyone...

we have skype and webcab and all that, but it isn't the same.

I will cheer up. Give me a few days and a few beers! ;)~

Kara,
you're back!!! ;)~

Jahooni said...

Jay,
Next post is going to be about you kicking my butt in Scabulous. Cheater!

Gorilla Bananas said...

How affectionate you are. Can I be your sister?

Jahooni said...

Gorilla,
I would pet you and pet you and feed you bisquits. and bananas of course! ;)~

It hurts when you are so far apart. These days it is so much easier though (but still far from easy) - with the internet and all. One can communicate and see pictures of eachother and all that.

Growing up thousands of miles from half of my family, I know about this. It is still far, and wherever I go there will be people that are too far away from me.

You'll just have to keep in touch and try to get back together soon again.

Being new here I don't know the story behind the story, so I'll just say hi and wish you well.

Hey Jahooni,
Just wanted to visit and say hi!
Hope you adjust quickly to the parting of you and your sister. [great picture by the way]
Also, I AM trying for that peach!

Jahooni said...

Micky T,

I want to win the peach... gosh darn it!

What picture is nice.. the one of the baby right? ;)~

7:30am is EARLY!!!

Ken said...

You and your sister.
Your daughter too!

Doc said...

I am sure you miss your Sis... Great pictures!

Ken said...

Hey I noticed pics with sailboats in it, is that San Diego? My first boat "Caprifol" that I sailed from Antigua to Maine lives there now. There was a six page spread about her [and a little of me] in last Augusts issue of Sailing Magazine.

Jahooni said...

Micky T-
we went to Long Beach Marina that day...

Ken said...

I only know that she was on Shelter Island.
Oh Well!
Talk atcha later!

Um Naief said...

you know, you are a poet!!!

i miss you too... more than you can imagine.

i know what you mean about the should have's, could have's and would have's... and if only's... i'm the same. i found myself doing the same in my head and wishing we would have spent more time doing various things... but, there's always the next time. just remember that. it's not like i'm gone forever.

too bad we don't have the internet right now or i would also make a post. as soon as we get it back, i will.

i miss all of you like crazy. thank you for this beautiful post. you're a dear, loving, kind and much missed sister!!!

none said...

Makes me miss my family as well.

Hope you get to see each other soon.

DirkStar said...

Cute, cute and cuter! What a great looking family and what a great group of smiles.

Hold on to the good memories and set aside the sense of absence for awhile.

Keep the warmth and enjoy it while its fresh...

I really won't feel much better until after Thursday when I'm finally on Insulin. I hate the idea of it but if it helps I'm all for it.

Puppy said...

Great pics, i really liked 5th and 6th and also the rest. But the pic of Katelyn feeding Naief i think is just ADORABLE!!!


Time has passed so quicky and Um Naief already left, with me being so busy at work i didnt even notice.

Take care and as it was said above, plan your trip to Bahrain.

Take Care.

elizabeth said...

I know how it feels... and I'm sorry that you do too. ;-P)

Mr Farty said...

EJL said...

J.. you are making my heart ache for you. I am so sorry you are sad.
I wish I could take it all away.
I will keep you and yours in my prayers.

Ken said...

That pic of your daughter is too damn cute for words!
Makes me want to post a pic of my nieces child that's almost that cute.
