Sometimes I'll be walking along and seeing something, instinctively think Gee, I wish X were here to see that. Or I wish X were here so we could see it together and talk about it afterwards. X can be a person I see every day and am intimate with, or someone I haven't seen in years and have no idea where they are or what they're doing now. But this thing is so THEM that more than anyone else, I want to share it with that specific person. More interesting still though is sometimes X is a person I haven't seen in a long time because I detest them. Yet my first instinctive reaction after seeing whatever is I wish X were here to see that.
