Love story : Dee and Dang

Being so very far a part from the one that you love can be a trying situation. Dang and I have spent so much time a part in our relationship. Some times, the pain of our separation boils up to the surface and cannot be hidden.

What do we do when the pain becomes too clear and is felt too strongly? Well, we endure. That’s really all you can do. No matter what you do to cope (I’ll talk about that shortly), there is still pain to be endured.

What Dang and I have to do, or should remind ourselves to do, is focus on the life we are building together. It is really going to be something special, I think. We are talking and planning, and I’m excited.

When the pain of being away from Dang becomes too great, I think of these things: we are going to be married soon; we are thinking about where to live, what we will do about work, investments, how travel will play a role in our lives, etc; we are planning for and dreaming of our children; and we are thinking about what direction we want our lives to take in five years or so.

Many things are still unanswered (they may remain so until we get closer to the dates we are considering), but here is what’s important: we are moving toward something truly exciting. In the time spaced between the big, and exciting, moments, we have happiness and joy to look forward to. So, even though it hurts to be a part from the one you desire to be with, you can endure through dreams, and working to make those dreams come true.

Yes, we are building something beautiful, my Love. Think of that when it hurts to be a part from me. It helps me make it through the pain of missing you.
