Yes but Ebony, there's a chance it may be pushed back longer, which is just about killing me here.

Consider yourself hugged in empathy! We will be here with you, riding it out! What are friends for?

I will wait for you

If it takes forever I will wait for you,
For a thousand summers I will wait for you,
'Til you're here beside me 'til I'm holding you
'Til I hear you sigh here in my arms.

Anywhere you wander anywhere you go,
Ev'ry day remember how I love you so,
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I'll wait for you.

The clock will tick away the hours one by one
And then the time will come when all the waiting's done.
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms!

If it takes forever I will wait for you,
For a thousand summers I will wait for you,
'Til you're back beside me 'til I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love.

Group hugs and rainbows! Why not?

Wishing all of us a good weekend and good countdowns. Hope we all have ample opportunity to "connect" with our loved ones as summer begins in the States.

Good news, Smiley!

Hi everyone...hope you are all doing well! Last night I had the most incredible night of my life...everything just went so perfectly that I'm still just sitting here in total amazement. The down side is reality is setting in that he goes home tomorrow...but we might get an hour or two together tomorrow too. I'm already feeling pretty down though...I'm not sure I want to know how I'm going to feel tomorrow. I just keep reminding myself that he's coming back in July. And I took your advice and took pictures..but I forgot to get one of the two of us together...have to remember to do that tomorrow!

 

[Ebonyfire]

I am so happy for you!!!!

I am so glad youaare enjoying his company. do not think about separations, not now, there will be time enough for that after he is gone. Enjoy the visit!

That's the best advice, Ladyhawke! Thanks Ebony!

I think I'll go crazy for sure if I don't get to see Oman again soon! Patience is surely a virtue I'm lacking at the moment! I should, however, be grateful that we actually plan on BEING together full-time, so I suppose this waiting is important to get our personal things more settled.

TIME marches on...

Hi everyone...hope you're all doing great. I'm feeling about as low as I ever though I could. After such as amazing weekend it was just so difficult to see him leave. On top of it he has been really busy and is trying to rest and recover (he sort of over used his broken wrist over the weekend) so I haven't heard much from him. I just keep reminding myself in only about 50 days we'll be able to be together again....July cannot get here fast enough!

Cherrie...hope you have a wonderful time...enjoy the time you have together...it will go too fast.

Ebony....hope the times flies for you..but only until you are together..then may it creep along.

 

[1stTwistedSistr]

Boo hoo!

I knew it was too good to be true! He called this morning and he's got to be in Boca Raton, Fla. for a week before he can come out here! His boss informed him that he needs to go there to start the job in Atlanta so he's got all kinds of meetings to attend before he can fly out. I feel like throwing a fit but I know it won't do anything but make him feel bad, so I just bt my lip and said I was disappointed about it, but that we'd survive. So, instead of two days it's back to 7 and a wake-up! Dammit!

Hugs Ladyhawke Separating is the hardest part, but I'm glad you have another countdown to look forward to. That's making things so difficult for me... there's still too many "if's" right now as to "when" and "where" Oman and I will get together again. We have now been apart as long as it was for us to get together in the first place (4 months).

Cherrie...sorry to hear about the delay, but it will make the visit better with all this "work stuff" out of the way!

Ebony... keep hanging in there! It's hearing about you guys that helps me holding my emotions together, as I can share in the happiness and exciting news each of you have shared.

Short countdown

Hi everybody!

My sweetie and I are on a very short countdown to our second visit - only 9 days and she will be coming here to visit me. It's only been a month since we were together the first time so I consider myself extremely lucky. I wanted her to come here so that I can cook for her. Well maybe there are a few other ways of spoiling her that I would like to engage in too!

Hi Toys

Cooking for a loved one is a special thing that really sends a loving message to your beloved. Of course that extra stuff is good too!


Hugs to all of the LDRs, long may we love!

your sanity before you meet...
by Jennifer Good

Anyone in an online relationship will tell you the same thing; the worst thing to handle is the distance and the waiting. The thoughts going through your head are enough to drive anyone crazy. A person in an online relationship can be worrying about anything and everything from looking okay to adjusting to a new city or country. So, how do you handle the little nagging thoughts in your head or the loneliness you feel at night?

1. A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
Surrounding yourself, and your partner's living space with pictures of each other is a great way to feel each other's presence. Don't just give each other the one or two token pictures. It isn't enough to give each other a good reality of who the other person is. Constantly take pictures of yourselves in different settings. Every time you meet, take pictures of you both together. You'll want to videotape yourself as well. It is a great way for your partner to see the live you whenever they want.

2. Leave Doubt Out, Plan Your Itinerary Together
A great way to bide the time while you're waiting to see each other is to plan the itinerary for your next visit. Research together online the local city guides and relevant tourist attraction web sites. Not only will this help take away the question of what to do, it will help add even more excitement and anticipation towards your visit.

3. Get In Touch With Their Life
Take the time to get in touch with whom your online love really is. Learning about their home and their history is a great way to accomplish this. Take turns revealing something about your past or somewhere you like to go. Use local city guides to find pictures of your favorite places to go and show them to your online love.

4. Start A Countdown Ritual
Each time you are about to meet in person, start some type of countdown ritual. It could be something as simple as telling each other how many days are left each day. Or, you could send a daily e-mail with how many days that are left. It is fun to look forward to something, and it helps assure you that it really is going to happen.

5. Surround Them With You
Sight is a wonderful sense, but it isn't fulfilling enough on its own. Assault your online love's senses with other reminders of you. When you meet you won't feel as foreign to each other if you've already smelled their cologne or perfume. They'll know your likes and dislikes if you share your favorite music, movies and food. Your partner will know your mannerisms already if you've exchanged videotapes or make use of a web cam. When people in real life are dating they have more than just a communication exchange to recall. Giving your partner a chance to recall other senses helps make you feel entirely more real to them.

Remember to make your time apart an opportunity to fulfill some personal goals and dreams that aren't always as easy to do once you're living with someone. Surround yourself with friends and family when you're feeling down. And, when all else fails, know that true love really is worth the wait.
