An Ocean Between... Again

I took Peep to the Airport two days ago, in lightening, thunder and pouring rain. We have said goodbye this way so many times: the line at security slowly moves, every now and then we wave... and then he is gone.






While he was here, we had a great time. He met every member of my family and many of my friends. I wanted him to come here, to see where I came from, and he did... I feel it has made us closer.






And we had such a great road trip! One month on the road, 24 hours together every day, and we still like each other! We saw so many magnificent things, every few days we were in another world: Huge fast cities, silent ancient forests, chilly spring mountains, vast magestic desert formations, homes of family and friends, Motel 6 with HBO, camping in dirt and leaves.



Waiting behind the sensational daily adventures, and sometimes peeking out into conversation, was the reality that we don't know where and when we will be together next. EU and USA sometimes feel like a fish and a bird...


There are so many things to achieve in this world- and we like to achieve. How do we best invest in our individual success and make sure we are together? It is really hard.
Certainly this kind of love is something I have always wanted to have, so I will keep it and hold it. We will find a way.
