So Far Away From Me

It's been exactly one week since I dropped Daniel off at the airport and he took off for Deutschland. As we can all see, he is having a great time mathing it out with friends, riding bikes along the Rhine, speaking Deutsch to little Deutsch doggies, and exploring the biergartens that dot the countryside.

I miss Daniel a lot today. Actually, I miss him a lot every day that he is gone, but today it feels like more of a need than a simple desire. Maybe it's because my eye hurts from the surgery I had on Friday, and I wish he were here to keep me company. Or maybe the reality of time is settling in, and I know I won't see him for another three weeks.

I know when I'm up and working again, instead of spending my days resting off the post op. pain, I'll be busy enough that I won't be sitting here pining for him all day. But for now, that's exactly what I'm doing...

And that's not a bad thing, when you know you're going to marry the guy.
