Distance

I’ve been thinking a lot about distance lately. The distance between two people; the distance to reach a goal. There are people in my life that are separated from me by distance, yet this distance makes little impact on the closeness between us. Whether separated by a street, a state or a continent the bond that is shared with these people triumphs over any number of miles between us.

I write this knowing that there are people in my life that I don’t get to spend as much physical time with as I would like, but I am not discouraged by this; rather I remain optimistic and confident that our love will survive any distance, test or misunderstanding. The truth is love doesn’t grow weaker because of miles but rather a gradual giving up by both parties.

Now that Chad and I are starting a family of our own I remain more committed than ever to keeping those who mean the most close to us. I recognize that distance is not an easy obstacle to overcome however I’ve always believed that love can bridge any physical space between two people.

I remain thankful for airplanes, cars, cell phones, e-mail, webcams, blogs, myspace and youtube; for these help close the distance.
