How we miss you (and how you are here)

Here is how we miss you:

As a dolphin jumps across the sea, then a dozen more play around our boat, slipping in and out of water around our bow, with grand speed, and we think, this is amazing, wish you were here.

As the sun is setting, there’s a few minutes of ever changing, we wonder, are you watching from where you are, dressed in stripy thermals.

When we’ve just had a little fight (or a bigger one) and we’re on our own in a corner of the boat, in or out, we think of you, right here, and what you might say.

After we’ve met a nation of people in a day, we think yes, we are Kiwis, because we are having sausages for tea, with Watties, and we bush bash to get to the top, and you.

When someone doesn’t laugh at our joke and we feel like a nit – you would laugh, and you would then make us laugh, and the air would clear.

As we get the boat ready to sail the ocean, four days this time, we tighten things, check and check, breath deep, and we store the thought of you up for the scary times, when you’ll be right there, with us, wanting us to come home.

    Hi guys,

    That’s a lovely thing to write. Your mum will be watching down on you guys with a smile I’m sure. Traveling can be hard but you will always look back on it with fond memories and the trouble spots will melt away as the good memories live on!

    happy cruising guys…and stop thinking so much J J

    How you amaze us and YOU don’t hear … Sorry
    We read, we look, we wonder at what you do and we never write Soooo Sorry.
    But we are;
    Reading – Your blog and loving and laughing and feeling
    Watching – You dot and sometimes crazy zig zagging lines of your life’
    Seeing – The beautiful shots that you post a life through your lens
    Envying – At times
    Missing – But don’t want you rushing home
    Wondering – How you can look so young and frankly amazing under such grotty circumstances.
    MacLeods
    Hugs and kisses
