Then it will be you trying to pretend your not struggling as your legs feel like buckling under multitudinous shopping bags as your lady loads you up like a pack mule from every shop she passes You will look back at this year with fondnessShe will be here but you know the sad thing about christmas,your post just hit me,the sad thing about christmas is people past,those who never get to see the bright lights and open gifts again,its like scrooge,past,present and future,your future begins 2010

Of course when Diana tells me she went Christmas shopping at the Gaisano Mall or Victoria Plaza with her children I wish I were with her but still we will be together in January when there is (hopefully!) no crowd any more and we talk over the phone every day... but it is pretty hard sometimes!

Now when she tells me she gets up at 03.30 AM to attend the miza di gallo at the local chapel at 04.30 AM I am not sure I would enjoy the experience....

Having just returned from a great trip to see my Mahal, I am now very sad and wishing that I never had to come home. We talk each day either by phone yahoo or sms. But there is nothing like the touch of her hand or the warmth of her lip against yours, nothing like the smell of her hair or her whispering that she loves you in your ear before you sleep. Yes, I am lonely and sad now that we are apart, but I am looking forward to April when I return to her again.
Christmas will be quiet for me as I have no one else, I'll just look forward to the early morning call and feeling close to her that way.

Wow!...just read all this and thought well at least i am not alone....so thanks everyone!

I am getting used to living in two time zones, one which is accessed through my PC everyday. But your right a long distance relationship is so hard particularly when your not sure when you will finally get that VISA application completed . Hopefully early in the new year then we can see each other again. Meanwhile we are managing to keep each other cheerful and positive and looking forward to our future together.

Well Merry Xmas everyone particularly to those other couples who are apart waiting for various reasons till they can b together.
