I'm really trying to be big about this, but, as much as I really tried not to get my hopes up that he could come, I can't help but feel incredibly . . . I don't know if there's a good word for it . . . low. He can't get out of rehearsal this weekend. Thanksgiving is not an option since our families live so far away. And it's still over a month until Christmas break. September to December is a really long time. :(
I knew this was going to be tough, and yet I think so far I've handled the long-distance thing pretty well. Usually I can have a very one-track mind when I need to and I can totally focus on my forever busy schedule and not think about anything else. However, I didn't count on only hearing his voice once a week or less (neither of our phones work very well. we usually talk online). Nor did I count on the daily (well intended) questions and reminders from our friends and our shared field that (as if he wasn't already) keep him constantly in the front of my mind. And I certainly didn't count on missing just being together so much. I'd give almost anything if I could just see him for five minutes.
And I know that having to wait until Christmas isn't horrible and there are others in much harder situations. And in the grand scheme of things, I don't really have anything to complain about at all. But forgive the pity party this once, please. I just really miss him, ya know.
Edited 11/9 to add: You guys are great. Thanks for the encouragement. I needed it. :)
