Someone recently asked me...

If it is so hard being in a long distance relationship......why am I still doing it??

Its a great question! As I explained to the person...........It takes for two people to love each other so much that the thought of NEVER seeing each other again hurts more than the thought of having to wait and see each other every 4-6weeks for a week at a time!!!

Richard and I have been living with a great distance in between us since September of 2007 and we are more in love now that we could ever be!!

I am not going to say it has been easy because trust me it has been anything but easy!! But I wouldn't change how we are and the direction we are going in for the world! I really wouldn't!

I trust that God brought the pair of us together for a reason. I know that I could never ever picture living the rest of my life on this earth with anyone else, other than Richard!
I know the feeling and view is returned because he tells me and shows me in the number of ways. Some of the things he does are simple such as saying how much he loves me and wants this to work and more extreme things are obviously traveling every month to Ireland to see me! That's commitment!!
I do travel out there when I can (not as often as I would like), sadly I don't have the flexibility that he does but it works in its own little way!

The question asked is one that got me thinking about a few things! One being how much I love Richard? I can faithfully say that with all my heart I would do anything for that man and I love him enough to do all I can to make sure our plans work out!

Also, how long could I actually stay in a long distance relationship? As long as it takes! I have FAITH that we are going to be together soon, maybe not as fast as we would both like but I know that in Gods time everything will be final and we will be together again, not having to use the term Long distance relationship anymore!! :0)

Finally, what keeps me going and not giving up? He does! Simply the love we have is one I would never find anywhere else in anyone else! I know it is very soppy to say but he really is the other half that completes me!

To sum up the answer to the initial question: If its so hard being in a long distance relationship why am I still doing it? TRUE LOVE PREVAILS ALL!!! <3
