No More...
'And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.' (Revelation 21.1) I'd miss the sea, for sure, in the afterlife (if I were to take this verse literally). If there were an afterlife (regardless of your own personal faith, just presume for the moment that there is), what one thing (or collective of things) would you miss most from this life if it/they was/were absent for all eternity? Explain why, if you can, concisely (maximum of 100 words for this challenge!)

Gifts
I will miss the innocence of children, and watching them grow--watching their use of the lessons they learn. I'll miss horizons--mountains, sunsets, possibilities. I'll surely miss the water, especially rivers and streams. Chatting with strangers. A warm bed. The Oxford comma? Holding doors for people. Girl Scout cookies. Movies. Nature--plant and animals, both. Art. Freedom. Peace. Love. I will miss all of these gifts, unless somehow, between now and then, I come to know the Giver.
