Nearly every Sunday we had a big family lunch with 4 generations that we had to stop. Since my parents are both in their 90's we don't know if we can start this again ever.

Sorry to hear but at least everyone is ok and you still have them. I have lost both of my parents (dad last year) and I dont know how I would deal with having to be separated from them.

I run a big D&D game, 9-11 people, all family every other weekend. I miss family, and I miss in person gaming.

I miss eating out at restaurants. I miss my coworkers. I miss my friends. I miss being conjugal with my significant other (yeah, we gave it up for safety).
I don't miss the majority of other human beings. I think it took a major crisis to reveal the true colors of many of my fellow citizens, and it ain't pretty. I have been reflecting on the sacrifices my grandparents generation made to preserve freedom, and comparing their actions to the actions of my peers in the present makes me despair of humanity. We are an awfully ignorant and selfish lot, and petty, too. Present company excluded, of course.
I have been taking comfort in how lucky I am to still be employed, to still have a roof over my head, that I live in New York State, and that I am going through this with the company of my best friend and two cats. I'm feeling fortunate. I am, however, vulnerable. I have asthma and I don't get enough exercise. I have been eating much better than I normally do, which is a plus. I think we all ought to take this time to reflect on our own health and try to make better choices. I think we should all be far kinder as well.

I always thought I was a bit of a loner, preferring quality to quantity in my interpersonal relationships... this event has taught me different.

I think what I miss about eating out, other than the food, is the sound of other people eating. I know it sounds silly, but the sounds of a restaurant are very soothing to me. Sharing meals with other people is one of life's great pleasures. It's amazing how much one can take it for granted.

I miss going to church and spending face time with my Christian family. I miss going to work. I like my office, and I like being in the courtroom. I like working to help people. And of course, I like getting a paycheck. I miss AYCE buffets. I don’t really eat that much, but every once in a while, I really like to load up on the dishes I want, and leave what I don’t. And if I want more after cleaning my plate, I just help myself.
My son misses his school and his friends. Being bottled up as a six year old is tough. The neighborhood kids want to play together, too.
My wife misses seeing her friends. She is also not really a fan of me bringing my hobbies (swords and hot rods) into the house. I think she would like to see my idle hands busy with something different.
I like having the opportunity to spend time with great folks virtually. SBG is awesome. 😊

I've missed a lot of things here and there but right now I'm missing the idea of summer. Things are so hectic and unsure right now that unfortunately we've canceled our vacation. I'll miss the beach. Also, miss the barber. He's a friend and I look like a shaggy beast hahaha! I'm enjoying a lot of extra time with my wife and have been cooking a lot, which I love. Empty roads are nice too.
