I get quite frustrated when I see couples looking oh-so-happy together. Jealousy or envy, perhaps? Probably. They just make me more bitter that the boyfriend and I are miles apart from each other. I don’t like the distance. I really don’t. I think I’ve even cried more in the last couple of months than I ever have my entire life.

I actually dreaded Valentine’s Day this year. Afraid that I’d end up moping and feeling sad that we can’t be together. But, things turned out pretty well. We spent the first hour of the day talking online, like we do most nights. Then, in the middle of a busy day at work, I was surprised with an express delivery of a dozen red roses. <3

I gotta say that they’re the most beautiful roses that I’ve ever seen. And I’m not saying that because it came from JR, but really, they’re perfect! I have them sitting on the table next to my bed, and even if it’s been almost a week, they still look fresh. :)

After work, I hurried home and we spent the night keeping each other company online, the way we would’ve spent the time if we were physically together on a date – fooling around. =P

So, in the end, spending Valentine’s Day apart wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. Sometimes I really should be more optimistic than I claim to be. =P

Thank you for the wonderful day, my bebe! Even if the situation has been hard for both of us, you really make a way to make me happy. I LOVE YOU! :-*
