So I'm really happy for Mike pursuing his dreams in Singapore and everything, but this long distance marriage really stinks sometimes. In my opinion, the 12-hour time difference is the real killer. It hit me when I was walking Raison at 5:30pm today and all I wanted to do was talk to Mike. I couldn't. Because he was asleep, as all people not working 3rd shift or praying Fajr should be at 5:30am. We never have a conversation where one of us isn't tired. I really feel like this would be so much easier if we weren't on such opposite sides of the planet. Even an 8 hour time difference would be better.
I must acknowledge that I know how incredibly grateful we are to have Skype, Vonage, Blackberry, our health. These few short months of separation have really made my heart go out to all the military families whose separations are so much longer, not to mention perilous. My thoughts and prayers are with those who are separated from their loved ones, especially if their return is unknown.
