It's all about trade-offs
Monday, 18 September 2006 14:53Item One: I miss my dogs so incredibly much. I miss hearing barking. I miss taking them out to walk. I miss playing with them. I miss how fuzzy they were. I miss being woken up by them. I miss their wet noses and their weird habits. I'm afraid they're forgetting me. And I'm afraid one of them will die before I get to see them again.
Item Two: I just realized that if anything ever happens and Andrew goes away, I'm so incredibly screwed. Less than a month and I've completely forgotten how to sleep alone. For the first time in my life, I have someone that touches me as much as I want to be touched. I'm not sure I could go back to how things used to be.

Date: 18 Sep 2006 22:58 (UTC)I so get that. My partner and I are coming up on seven years (knock on wood) and sometimes I find myself looking at her while she's sleeping, trying to remember living alone and thinking/worrying about how I could get back to that place.
Only good thing that comes out of such thoughts, for me anyway, is that I am reminded to deeply appreciate this time and our connection--and not take it for granted.
