Long Distance Relationships

For those who say long distance relationships don't work, I can prove you wrong.

 

Meet my friend Tracy. Her and her husband Bill used to live in Newark. Our kids went to the same school and were even in the same class. We would talk when we were picking up our children. We were friends, but not on the level of telling each other personal things or sharing problems. Bill got a job that took them not only out of Newark, but out of Ohio. They moved to Arizona.

 

After the move, we kept in touch via email. She was trying to sell their house back here and I can remember her sending me an email asking how the housing market was in our community.

 

As the months passed, our emails became more frequent and we starting calling each other periodically. Problems arose in each of our lives and we confided in each other, like sisters would. Since I had no real sisters of my own, being able to talk with Tracy was a real gift.

 

Although she is a few time zones away, we remain very close friends; much closer than when she lived here. The long distance has only made us closer.

 

Thanks for being such a great friend Tracy!
