Craig is leaving 6:30 or so tomorrow morning, and I'm feeling SO sad that he's going to be gone until April 26..exactly a month. The reason I feel so silly is because there are SO many couples on here that haven't seen each other in so long and just can't wait to be together, etc etc. and it's only a MONTH. When I put it in perspective like that, I feel ridiculous. At the same time, I can't stop feeling sad!! And you all know what I mean by this..it's just that he will be so FAR away!! :( :( :( I'm really going to miss my cuddles every day, and when I come in from school tomorrow about 4:30 and he's not here when he usually is. :( *sigh* I would never normally wish time away, but I wish it was a month from now! Mich

PS..I'm really truly glad he's getting to go..see his family,etc etc..I'm just gonna MISS HIM!!!! (L)

Hey Michelle,

Hope the month goes quickly for you. My Craig and I were apart for 5 weeks too last June and it was really hard, but time does go by and the reunion once we were back together was great. Was so pleased to see him I nearly crashed the car driving back from the airport!!! :)

Keep the phone and email contact up, it does really help.

Best wishes

Kate

Michelle,

Don't feel silly about how you feel. You have been together for a while now and spent every day together. It's understandable that you will miss him very much. After Tony got here and had to return to England in December for 3 weeks, I thought I wouldn't make it. You get used to them being there with you. I sincerely hope that the time passes quickly for you and that you and Craig both will appreciate each other even more when he returns.

(((Hugs)))

Oh, what would I do without all of you, huh? Even tho reading what you wrote is making me sappy too,(at the moment everything is!!!) it's making me feel better too. Thanks, and talk to you all tomorrow..I'm sure that's when I'll need to..when I haven't had much sleep, he's leaving early, and then I have all day at school!! Anyway, talk to you then, and thanks for not making me feel stupid. It's harder than I thought it would be! (F) Mich
