Awww, congratulations! I'm so glad that you finally got to meet him. LDRs are hard work, but they're always so worth it when you finally meet them, and you truly appreciate every single second you spend with one another.
I mean, I have a lot of long distance friendships, heh? ^^ I met one of my best friends last year and oh my gosh, even that was just amazing! Seriously, I never found it awkward at all. It was just like I had met her yesterday, because we're such great friends. I admit, I was sooo nervous first seeing her, just shaking, but when I walked over to see her, I hugged her so tight and I felt so happy. We've been through so much together, and I remember just crying having to leave her.
I wish she could live closer because we're just such great friends. ;; I hope I can see her again! <3
I was in an LDR last year, but sadly we had to end it due to personal reasons. I was really devastated because we never got to see each other, even though my mum was approving of our relationship and I really loved him.
I am glad though because we're still really great friends... Heck, he's probably my best friend anyway. :3 I hope I can see him soon, though. We do plan to meet, hopefully someday... It might be difficult, but I'm determined to make it happen. ^^ And I'm hoping that if we meet... Things will spark and work out again. It might have been just what we needed.
But either way, I think just seeing him would be great for me, anyway.
