Life for both of us now is split between 2 countries. Work and life for Sam is in one country. I, on the other hand, have no choice but to exit the country frequently. Life for me is two thirds in one country and a third in our original country. My work remains back home. The constant travelling is tiring, but it is good to have some income coming in.
The time apart can get a little unbearable at times. Sam had to learn to cook in my absence. We both experienced feeling disorientated in the mornings when we wake up, alone in separate beds, in different countries. On the days when we're both not working, we spend our time in front of our laptops, on Skype. We have our meals together that way too. We bid each other good night through Skype as well. We wished things were different but we haven't reached the point whereby we're able to make changes in it yet. And so we wait, patiently, for time to pass. Time that seems to pass at its own accord, slowly.
Being apart does make us appreciate our time when we're physically in the same place. It is a reminder of how fragile life really is, that nothing really is predictable and to treasure what we have, every second of the day.
We are reaching the end of our tunnel. Soon, there will be no more whining and complaining of being on our own quite so much. We have come a long, long way together in our short time together. We have grown stronger as individuals as well as a couple. We have surprised ourselves when we realised how much sacrifices we've made just to be together the past 4 years. Regrets, we have none. In years to come, we shall look back at the past few years, where we've been so financially strapped but managed to pull it through, with love and determination. My heart and my home is wherever Sam is.
