I miss him. Add that to your list of the blindingly obvious if you want, but sometimes it really is just as banal and basic as that. I miss him.

I miss him not being there to tell things to...I know already what he'd have had to say about recent events ..

"Macy, you are not fat " (Because, god help him, he'd already had to repeat this endlessly through most of August and September)
"Cheeky wee fringe there Macy" (Because he knew how to annoy me)
"Did the bridge collapse or something?? "(Because the man was incapable of making any kind of drama, being supremely laid back)

But knowing what he'd have had to say isn't the same as laughing about it all with him.
