As I sit here writing this I have had just one thing on my mind today, my friends back in Bozeman. It has been three weeks since we left Bozeman. It doesn’t seem that long yet, it seems like forever. When will I get to see them next. I’ve spent this much time not seeing them before due to vacations overlapping and life in general. There was however always an end in site for not seeing each other. Whether it was one week or a month, we’d see them soon. Back then, that was a lot of time to pass before connecting in person. I was thankful to be able to stay in contact with them through email, text or a phone call.
Now I don’t have an end in sight for when I will see them next. It will be months at least and that is killing me today. Tears keep coming to my eyes as I sit in wonder helplessly not knowing when. Will they come visit? When will I be able to go visit? Will we keep in touch? Long distance is always hard on any relationship. I have been able to keep a couple close friends after they have moved and I am thankful for that. God has a plan for those relationships I left behind. Once again I find myself thankful for the technology that can keep us connected. Even down to the letters that can be written and sent via snail mail.
Luckily, we did book my sister plane tickets to come out here for Christmas. But that is still just barley under two months away. Really? I have to wait that long? I just want it to be December already. What am I going to do till then? How much will Elijah change by the time she sees him? Oh to leave those you love behind is not easy. I look forward to the new adventures ahead and the precious memories we will get to share.
