The Distance of Love

Chapter 11: 1 year anniversary

On March 2nd ,2017 Matthew and I had offcially been together a year. I was overjoyed because we had made it longer than any other long distance couple I have met. We knew that in just a month we would be seeing each other for the first time in a year. I had thought he forgot about our anniversary but he didn't he was just busy with school work .This was our first year together and yes I had ,had many sleepless nights because of the distance between him and his cousin Luanne they helped me find my back bone again that I didn't know I had I have cried myself to sleep many nights but as I say in the end it's always worth it for someone you love.

Now Matthew is a senior this year and so that means he would have a senior prom .He did invite me as his date but then his parents got in the way because there was no way he was getting his parents signature on the permission slip. I spent the enitire day after I found out crying because I had already found my dress and it would never be able to be worn to his prom I would have to wear it to my own in 11th grade .That is 2 years away .I really wish it were closer and if it was I could invite him then. We may not see each other all that often but you know what we make it work even though it is not the most ideal situation in the end we do it for each other and become each others back bone. Each time I look at how bashful we were our first meeting compared to where we are now I can hardley think about what life would be like without him.

My best friend Aleah Rotondi has helped me a lot on my sleepless nights . I have littraly texted her at 10:30 at night and she has responded and I love that about her my friend Maureen has also helped me out a lot when I am feeling depressed during school hours. Sometimes I have wanted to give up but these people help keep me going in the best way possible without you I would not be the person I am today . I also want to take this time and thank my family for being so supportive of Matthew and I through all of this. I will forever try my best and I will make Matthew and I last as long as I can and if that's forever so be it we will just be high school sweethearts and have the love story every one has wanted in their life.

This has proboly been the best year of my life and I hope I can have many more like this . I want everyone to know that even though I may not always be the happiest when Matthew and I are apart I will always be happy with him and wouldn't change him for the world . I just am hoping that at this point everyone is happy with us and I don't have to cry as much as I used to when Matthew and I first started dating.
