Yep a bad year for cats. 2 due to old age (within weeks of each other) and 1 (a rescue) due to a previous infection on his lungs. They are still a huge miss, even though I now have a lively 6 month old kitten.

Me too. My Monty died in my arms this summer.
Still not really over it. Can't face getting another one.

Few peeps saying squash. I really miss playing too.
 
Being able to eat and drink what I liked without putting weight on.

Going out around the pubs on Christmas Eve.

My mother - she's still alive but doesn't have a clue who I am any more.

The excitement of Christmas as a child.

The joy of seeing the bairns come downstairs to see their presents, believing in Santa.

Being able to have a civil conversation with the wife.

Sorry if the above is a bit maudlin.

You could go out on Christmas Eve, meet a nice new wife, wake up in bed with her and have a present, and then take her to visit your mam.

There's so many things i miss but nothing compares to not having my mam and dad around anymore. There's so many things I wish I had said to them when I had the chance. Too late now of course.

Bet you miss majority of the time without the excuse of blaming the beer... remember anything more than 3 shakes could lead to a messy end..:eek:

Yep, got to watch the weight creeping up mate.

Don't miss going out on Christmas Eve

My dad is in a pretty much similar way. Shit, isn't it. Breaks me heart when he does not recognise his own grandchildren.

Great wasn't it

Still get that, thankfully.

Still get that one as well as she is a diamond.

Merry Christmas, marra;)
