The joy and sorrow of Long Distance relationship

Nothing tests a relationship more than distance. I’ve been away from my husband for almost a year, and it’s never been easy at all. You really need to adjust to not seeing each other for how many months…not being together when we needed each other most. But along the way, I definitely believe that being in a long distance relationship is something that every couple could benefit from going through. Not only does strengthen your relationship and test it – but the experience also strengthens you as an individual.

– No relationship is easy or perfect. There will always be some challenges, but if the person truly means to you, whether that person is your partner, a friend or parent you have to work to fix things. Being in a long distance relationship has changed us individually and as a couple in many ways; good ways. We learned how to make things work, and gradually it got easier. Now we are extremely happy to have gone through all of this. Now we feel confident about us and cannot wait to begin the next chapter of our lives: being together anytime we want. Yes, being in a long distance relationship is difficult, but when it is with the right person, it isn’t half bad. It taught us a lot about ourselves, things we might not have figured out otherwise.

First Valentine

love note
Wi-Fi valentine note

When I opened this note, I was planning to write her a love note too. I had everything planned in my head. But after reading her notes, my mouth was wide open in admiration and I felt like I was falling hard in love with this woman again. However, I also realized that my note was not going to be any where better than this one. But after much thought, I decided to send my note anyway. I guess the thought that I took time to think about the note and actually write it count more than what was in the note. God knows that I am anything but romantic. While this valentine was lonely, it was heartwarming to know that someone (my Wi-Fi) loves me this much.
