The Saddest Craigslist Missed Connection EVER!
I know this doesn't count as a real blog post, but I had to share it anyway because it made me cry.

Before all of you CL Nazi's flag this post, please read carefully and you will understand that this is probably the most missed connection of all.
It's been 3 years today since I've looked you in the eyes and told you that I loved you. Since we've couch-potatoed-it-up and watched the worst movie ever! It's been 3 years since you've yelled at me for the laundry on floor and the toilette seat that I never could figure out how to work. Everything has been so inside-out since you've been gone. The dinning room table doesn't have the oversized flowers on it anymore, just the tiny vase you used to stuff them in. But now it's empty. As empty as my need to laugh, or love, or be happy. Knowing you as well as I do I know you wouldn't want me to be a miserable, anti-social loser who stay's at home and Tivo's his life away so I've tried my best to make some connections. Over the past 6 months I've met some fairly interesting women while going about my day to day life. All of which I have never been able to make it past the formal stuff... I truly suck at this. A buddy told me to post on here in hopes that just maybe one of my missed connections will see this and slap me around the next time I see her and force me to pay more attention to her. I've compiled a list...
CLERK AT THE FRY's (22nd & Kolb)
I've comented on your necklace more than twice, It's a red ruby with silver chain, it's beautiful just like you.
I find myself driving out of my way to have you bag my Cheerio's. : )
GAS STATION ATTENDANT (22nd & Alvernon)
We went to high school together. I had a crush on you back then and after bumping into you on accident a few months back
I understand why. You're smile is worth paying the extra 5 cents a gallon! : )
BLACKJACK DEALER (Desert Diamond old nogales HWY)
You see me once or twice a month, I'm always wearing a t-shirt that says something vulgar or outrageous on it. I'm not a mean
person. Wearing t-shirts with curse words insures that no senior citizens with try to buddy up to me. Not that I'm anti-social, I just
can't relate to the grandchildren stories. You have long black hair (usually) and always give me the 5 second smile. Everone else gets the 2.5 second smile.
: )
REID PARK MINI TRAIN
Two weeks ago I was standing in line with my 4 year old daughter waiting to board the mini train at Reid park. Our daughters were waving at each other and laughing
you smiled and asked how much the ride costs. We made small talk for a min until the train arrived but there wasn't enough room for you to get on with us. you were wearing pink Nike shoes and a ball cap. : )
I know 3 years is a long time but I honestly don't think I'm over you. I never should have let you drive away upset that night.
I should have bought you that Ruby necklace for our anniversary.
I should have paid more attention to you when we were in Highschool.
I wish you never taught me to play BLACK JACK. Cause damn I suck at it!
And every night when I throw my dirty laundry in the hamper and not on the floor by the bed I see your pink Nikes sitting in the closet. I realize that you can't be replaced.
Our baby girl is getting so big and is looking more and more like her mother every day.... BEAUTIFUL.
Rest in Peace sweetheart. We love you, we miss you.

Oh man. I was reading it and was like "okay, another one of these, great" (Missed connections are a guilty pleasure of mine haha) but I got to the end and I was teared up. I dont know if this counts as a legit comment but I dont care. These MC's always make me tear up.
