Exactly a month ago, I was dropping him off at LAX. I think that was worse for me than the day he took me to La Guardia to catch my flight home, back in October. I cried from the minute I walked out of that terminal until Nic calmed me down a bit on the drive home. It was halfway home that I realized it was our 10 month anniversary.
When we talked about it later, he reminded me that we had celebrated the entire week leading up to that day because we got to spend all that time together.
This long distance stuff is hard. It creates this achy feeling in the middle of your chest that you just can’t soothe away. What makes it worse, what makes the ache deeper, is spending amazing weeks together where you can’t help but sit back in awe as you watch your son, your parents, and your best friends enjoy him being here too. It’s absolutely amazing to watch.
Having him here with me made me realize something. I want to see this world with him next to me.
There isn’t much more to it than that.
Happy 11 months sweetie. <#
Aww, I want to see this world with you by my side, too, honey. Thanks for being amazing and thanks for being you. <#

I was looking through pictures from Sammi’s party the other day again with her and she said to me, “Mom, I really think he needs to come back to California cause New York is too far away” She adored him, I adored him and seeing you happy is wonderful for me. I <3 you guys!

What makes it worse of course is that you’re going through the early part of your relationship like this. Somehow it’s easier when you’re in a more established routine, years in and such… In fact the “away” time is a great time to remind yourself of what you miss.
I love the picture. You both look *SO* happy. As long as you know it’s never goodbye, you’ll be ok.

I love you both!!!!! Distance is painful, girl, but the bottom line is the love that keeps you together is so unbelievably worth it. Once the two of you are physically together for good you won’t remember any of the pain. Distance makes the heart grow fonder in our cases. And I think you two are meant to be! xo

Oh, my post from yesterday was about this very thing. I was dropping him off on Wednesday, and it was big time tears for me. Worse than the first time. The distance sucks!! I’m glad you had a wonderful trip, though.
