Rendezvousing at ours

After all these months rendezvousing daily online for all sorts of couples stuff, some of which I’m sharing here and so many others I’d never share wherever, it’s hard to believe that we are finally doing it for real at ours. It’s 3 more days and he is arriving home: we did buy no farm, that was initially the main idea behind this long distance craziness. I visited twice and we did get married after 23 years living together. There was an escapade that I like to call a honeymoon and we are still looking for land in Portugal, more experienced with deception and speculation than ever, more certain about our life project too. As for me, I had the time and space to remember who I am on my own and I couldn’t be more grateful for acknowledging strengths and weaknesses once again. The excitement about the end of the yearning is growing and we are so proud of ourselves for allowing this to happen, all of it… although we kept saying that it would be the last time and we still did it again, every time we decided to split briefly due to a variety of major life events, it had never been for this long!

I know and love this man deeply. Let’s just hope that we can keep sharing the ridiculously tiny space again, at least as easily as before. Another thing I now know - we are as free in the distance, as in under the same little roof. What a bless.
