i just read the time traveler's wife by audrey niffenegger.
it evoked a lot of emotions. and got me to pick up the phone and called andi. and i cried.
we are going to be husband and wife in about slightly more than four months time.
reading the book brought my mind into the future, thinking about our home, how our family would be, and when will death set us apart. yeah, especially the separation part. it just dawned on me that whatever journey that we are going to start in october will end someday somehow. there is an ending after every beginning.
so i called him, and told him how much i missed him and how thankful i was to have him now, even when he was 897 kilometers away from here.
acknowledging the ending is sad, but it adds the value of the present. life will not be so precious without death. keeping in mind that both of us will only have so much time in the world to be together, not knowing when the end is, i guess we will not take anything for granted and will be truly grateful for each moment that we spend together.
and so this is the beginning.
the first post.
