I'll be in your shoes again in about about two weeks. Last year I lived about five hrs from where he was going to college. We would visit each other every two weeks. Then he headed home for the summer which was about 2500 miles from me. I went to visit him once. During the time we were apart we talked a lot on the phone. I went through a lot of phone cards. We also had msn messenger and on the days we couldn't talk, we would send emails to each other. It was hard and at times I didn't think we'd make it through.
We've been together about a year and a half now. I transferred schools and am now living in the same town as him. But, he will soon be heading back home for the summer and this time there will be no visit. We both have cingular phones so we can talk to each other as much as we want and it doesn't take any of our minutes away. It is hard to have a long distance relationship, but if you can make it through and finally get to the point where you can finally be together it will be worth it. I agree, it does help to know other people are in the same boat.
