Life'sGood Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I know the feeling! I count in weeks when we've got long periods apart - just to keep the numbers down! Yes! One week will be over very fast especially if I keep busy with my daily life.. Weekends will go especially fast and then it's another week. What's more important is that I have a date to look forward to. It makes the distance more bearable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed x 10!!! :bunny: Even when you have a rough idea, it just doesn't compare to an actual 'in the diary', 'flights booked' date! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Archanaart Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 One day!!!!!!! Although here's the problem: he told me and I don't know how I feel. Like so much has happened lately and I've asked for space too. I'm kind of all over the place. Maybe I'll feel better when I actually do see him. Link to post Share on other sites
amayana Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 3 weeks. Not that we're together anymore When I read this post of yours, I was completely taken aback! I didn't even know, ugh. I'm so sorry. I was really bad at keeping up with how everyone was doing. But I'm glad you're still seeing each other like this. Lots of hugs to you Link to post Share on other sites
amayana Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hope you are ok! But you're ok, right? You're not badly hurt? Thanks for your concern, guys. That's very kind I'm fine again, alive and kicking, but my wallet is suffering. Having to go to a hospital in the US without American health insurance ruined quite a few future trips to see my BF... So not too excited about that. But it'll all be alright. I'll try not to think about it too much. My own insurance is going to get me some of the money back but not much. At least I'm OK again. PS - Has anybody told you before that your bf - in that photo (avatar) - looks a wee bit like Brandon Flowers? (singer, The Killers) That's so true! I always told him that then. His beard doesn't look like that anymore. I think this picture is one of his first beard pictures. He used to shave all the time until I convinced him he didn't need to because I love facial hair on men (not TOO much though). And I would get beard burn from kissing him, not cool. So now he's rocking that badass beard. I'm going to upload a more recent picture of us soonish Link to post Share on other sites

ThomasD Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 48 hours until I see her. And it feels extremely strange! It started more than 2 weeks ago. Her mother's death is imminent, they said . . . can she be here in the next 8 hours or so, to be with her Dad, before her mother is gone? Well, this wasn't a total surprise - terminal conditions run their course, and she had been there just a week previous, saying goodbye, with the understanding that the next trip would be for a funeral. But she expected that to be a month or so away. So we dropped everything, found the quickest bus/rail connections, sent her off, and she arrived about 24 hours after the panicky plea. Her mom was still breathing. (I stayed at home for some reasonable reasons. Perhaps not the best reasons, but not selfish or frivolous reasons.) Her mom didn't pass on until more than a week later. It was a very strange waiting - grieving for her dad - feeling a little conflicted about grieving for her mom, who wasn't dead yet - but mostly missing her, and wishing I could be near her at that time. Her mom dies, and I traveled with other family members to the funeral. I made myself available for errands and chores and helpful tasks but didn't assert myself into her family. I have two vivid mental images from that day: during the service, my mother-in-law's casket sitting over the exact spot where my wife and I were pronounced married, and first introduced as "Mr and Mrs . . . "; and her mother's casket being lowered into the grave, immediately next to our own first-born (who died of birth complications). I know she's upset and grieving, too. I want her to have the space and freedom to do that but I wish we had the chance to share that, with both emotional and physical intimacy, as we did in our younger days. For two days we shared sleepng accomodations with others, in a rather crowded house. There were two late night walks down a gravel country road, with the sensory experiences of stars and fireflies and an unseen creek and corn and a distant coyote and a heavy mist. And her stopping me in the very middle of the road to make out for a few minutes. "Forty years ago you were too nervous that a car might come by and see us", I teased her. "Exactly forty years ago we hadn't quite met yet.", she corrected me. So on the day we were to return home she awoke me to mention that we would be sleeping together, by ourselves, that night. But that morning before we left, my family was on the phone. "Since you're this close, can you spend a few days with your mom and us?". Well . . . wife says we're unlikely to be in the area again any time soon, so perhaps it's best. But after the commitment is made and essentially irrevocable, I discover that there's some family drama going on and I've just been Shanghaied to play a supporting role. (I didn't lend the "support" that was expected.) So here I sit in my mother's house, doing odd jobs for her and my sister. And missing my wife. Can I stay another week? Well, I have only funeral apparel plus clothes for two days. My mother points to the washing machine . . . and my sister goes out to buy me more underwear. Trains are sold out on Sunday and Monday, so Saturday it will be. 48 hours until I see my lover honey! Then we can make love intimately. I'm horney, and hope for some sex, too - though at our age, "making love" and "having sex" are concurrent events less than half the time (much to my wife's dismay). I don't recall the last time I experienced wanting to be with her so deeply. Of course, it's been a LONG time since we were apart for this long - certainly never with a two-night "teaser" in the middle. Thanks for letting me write that out! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
