I take off my hat to all you couples who have or are enduring long term seperation. We were very fortunate to never spend more than 10 weeks apart at any time in the last six years and that seemed like an eternity. Take strength from some of the stories of success and hardships endured on here and remember it is okay to feel sad sometimes but just think ahead to your next meeting and try to plan a surprise that lets your partner know how much you have missed them. Good luck to all of you LTR couples.
