Today Mark and I have been together for a year. It seems to have flown by, and I've never been happier with anyone in my life. It's a breath-taking feeling to be able to say something like that and truly mean every word.
Mark came to visit me January 5th through the 15th. Before, when I'd get frustrated about being so far from him, or life in general, he promised me, "One day, I'm going to make everything be okay for you." And I took the words to heart, cherished them, and waited for that day. The thing is, I imagined it would be a couple of years from now when we're married and are able to see each other every day. The truly amazing thing is, even though some frustrating and upsetting things happened while he was here... Everything was really okay. I never got depressed because I had Mark. Because I could always glance over at him and see his green eyes meet my gaze, and a smile cross his face. That's all I need. He's my happiness, he's my heart, and it's such a beautiful feeling that typing this just caused a tear or two to roll down my cheeks.
It's really hard for me some days, when life pulls me down. But even if I call Mark in tears, he listens and offers his love and support. And after a while, I'm okay. It hurts that he's far away, but I just keep thinking in the back of my mind that I can look forward to this amazing love growing for the rest of my life.
It's truly been a blessing, Mark. Here's to a lifetime of love, that's only just beginning.
