I need?

"Do you want hot chocolate?" she asked
"No" was the response.
"Do you want a cinnamon roll?"
"No" was once again the response.
I want two little legs running around the counter. The little pitter patter of feet as I chase the one year old girl. Little giggles reach my ears as she says no over and over again.
I want the red-headed four year old that runs around like a maniac rolling and sumersaulting on our furniture. When I ask for a 'sammy hug' he squeezes the life outta me.
I want the little "meow" I get when I say "Hi" to the brown incredibly long haired girl.
I want my older brothers teasing grin when I get home from school on a Friday afternoon.
I want the little kiss randomly on my arm from the flaming red haired girl.
I want the "Boo!" I get in Facebook chat when my sister-in-laws sitting in the same room as me.
I want the 2:00 a.m. Risk games and the endless chats about the characters in books with my same name.
I want my house to be filled once again with all of those fourteen people whom I love more than anything....
