Have you ever listened to Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G3_kG5FFfQ&ob=av2e I cried so hard when i listened to hit the first week my hubby had gone back to Canada, its so true!

I'm just wondering if anyone else who is apart from their SO writes letters or cards to them by snail mail? I think writing love letters is such a lost art, no one does it anymore. A couple weeks ago, I found these really pretty peacock notecards at pier1 imports on sale, and I've written my partner letters a couple times. He loves the surprise. It seems like getting personal mail is such a treat now, haha.

Does anyone else do this?

Most definitely!! I'm one of the lucky ones on here: I'm actually living with my partner in Canada (as a visitor, now my work permit has expired) while we're processing outland. But we were long distance for over a year at the beginning, as I was living in England and he was in Canada. Nothing beats seeing an airmail sticker on a handwritten envelope when you get home!

For valentine's day, he wrote me such a funny poem - I still remember first reading it 2 years later! I used to travel a lot with work, so I'd pick up postcards and send them. Sometimes, I barely wrote anything, just printed out a fun photo that I knew would make him smile and stuck that on the back. Even though mail took up to 2 weeks to arrive and we emailed every day and skyped at least once a week, it added something to our relationship: knowing that it was on the way and that it would make him smile is a great feeling. Everyone should do it!

It's like getting flowers delivered too... x

P.S. I've found a good song to listen to at the moment, which picks me up: 'For Now' from the Avenue Q musical! It's emphasises that all our situations are just temporary - an important thing to remember if you want to keep your sanity! If you've never listened to it, try it and let me know what you think...

Another great long distance song for all those in different time zones from their partners, Jetlag by Simple Plan is a good one. And I'm so glad their are such romantics out there! Haha.

MandyUK, I hope your husband feels better soon!

 

[AndreUK]

You guys!!! It seems I'm one of very few males around here?

My wife and I have the sort of relationship which our togetherness comes first. Jobs? Money? None of that is worth being apart for.
I don't know how you guys can do it! I can only imagine your pain.
We had to do 2 weeks once and that was hard as he**.

Come on CIC!!!

well for the last 3 days i have had a dream that I get my PPR on 22nd September lol, probably (and most liely) wishful thinking but heh have to hope

 

[sidkrose]

Haha, omg, I totally had a dream the other night that I got sponsorship approval!! I wish, haah. That is the part I'm most worried about, since I didn't submit an option C...Even though I submitted lots more stuff instead, and I know they could request it, which is fine, because it's available now. But yeah. wow. haha, one track mind!
