My main squeeze of nearly 36 years has had to take a job requiring that she relocate to Walnut Creek, CA, where we have now kept a small apartment since Sept 2008 (our home is in Las Vegas). I now only get to be with her every month or so for a few days at a time. We call it "the Southwest Airlines / Virgin America Marriage." We are far luckier than a lot of people in this economy, but it crushes me to be without her so much.

What a loving tribute to the woman of your dreams. Here's hoping the distance becomes less great.

I know the separations are difficult, but the reunions are bliss.

@havlin -

Thanks. Utterly correct on both counts.

This is truly a beautiful tribute to your lovely wife. My parents had to do the same thing on three different occasions when I was growing up and I believe it made them even closer. I'm certain that her knowing that your life is so much richer with her in it, makes her feel loved beyond measure.

And as the saying, God never gives you more than you can bear, unless of course you catch something and die from it.

Bobby, you are sooo lucky! There isn't a planet big enough to keep you two apart. There is no distance between your hearts or souls. You are two of the lucky ones that get to take each other everywhere you go. Blessed, blessed, blessed!
