A Painting I Walk By Every Day
I’ll miss the painting, which I have no idea why it was chosen or when. It has to be more than 21 years old, and it never occurred to me to ask.
A
B
Before Bed
I’ll miss seeing my mom leave her glasses in the same place in the living room before going to her bedroom. In which she puts on a different color of the same glasses that she keeps in her bedroom.
C
C- “Curious Art and Covered Walls”
I’ll miss the meticulously decorated walls full of pictures, sayings, and various plants.
D
Drawn About Tools
I’ll miss seeing the clutter of tools found scattered after daily use.
E
Evening Rest
I’ll miss the immense comfort that jumping into my parents' gave me. As well as coming in to talk after getting home late.
F
Familiar Bristles
I’ll miss having to put away my dad’s brush after he spent the morning aggressively styling his hair to go from huge and curly to straight.
G
Glowing in the Kitchen
I’ll miss "fend for yourself" nights, where we all go to the kitchen to see what we want to make. Or cooking all together, arguing about the right way to cook.
H
How We Love Fresh Air
I’ll miss the intense need to open all windows and doors as soon as we all come home. There is not a day we don’t have all the windows open whilst we're home during the day.
I
I Have An Obsession With Posters and Paintings
I’ll miss the sheer amount of posters, paintings, tapestries, and flags I have. Particularly, my mushroom-type painting/poster.
J
Just Within Reach
I’ll miss the number of platters we have at every table in case we have company. Or store our lemons from our tree.
K
Knick Knacks
I’ll miss seeing everything my little sister has left all over the house. Picking it all up and bringing it to her room.
L
Lights, Lights, Lights
I’ll miss never seeing an unlit room. Ambient, overhead, or non-electronic, there is constantly a light source on in every room.
M
Moments in Paint
I’ll miss seeing all the artworks my parents have displayed on our walls.
N
Nooks of Books
I’ll miss mixing my book collection with my family. However, 80% of our books are mine.
O
Ooh Peaceful
I’ll miss the constant sound of a waterfall. I’m not sure how many water fountains we’ve had; however, one thought has stayed the same: we need to have one.
P
Partly Electronics
I’ll miss the not-so-subtle warnings to actually charge my phone. With all the charging options in the world, I’ll walk the world at 50%.
Q
Quiet Coffee
I’ll miss the way my dad prepares his coffee cup every night so as not to wake us the next morning.
R
Right! On the Table…
I’ll miss the mess we call our dining table, which holds just about everything from our purses, laptops, tools, packages, and jackets. Some days, using one of our other tables is just a better option.
S
Seiberts
I’ll miss the proud “S”s found everywhere in our house to represent our last name.
T
Talk about being open to new solutions!
I’ll miss seeing what new gadgets my parents buy to fix problems I’ve never heard of. They are always too open to trying any and all new fixes.
U
Utter Amount of Drawers
I’ll miss the amount of storage we seem to have. Which appear organized but are quite the opposite.”
V
Various Portraits
I’ll miss the number of times I see my family members' pictures. We seem to have every portrait of past and current members.
W
What Party?
I’ll miss the preparedness to entertain. What party are we throwing? When? That question is never answered, but we’re ready!
X
Xquisite Backyard
I’ll miss going hanging out side all together. Whether it's a Carne Asada or just our the four of us.
Y
Yellow Growing Quietly
I’ll miss going and picking the lemons off our tree. Which grows so abundantly that we share it with neighbors weekly.
Z
Zigzags of Reflection
I’ll miss the not-so-humble quantity of mirrors we have. But at least I know all my bad angles. .
