SIX HOURS

Even with the six hours which separate us, we somehow make time to get together every day. It starts with the 'Good morning' text on Viber and perhaps a phone call and continues throughout the day with more texts until the evening when we see each other on Skype.

A six-hour time difference is quite the challenge yet we have managed to make this work though we both would prefer to start and end the day in person. At times this is possible and we both greatly look forward to those weeks but this is the life we have now.

Tonight was memorable as we ended our Skype session only to get back on Skype a few minutes later. After the second time, I went upstairs to lie down for a few minutes when he called on Viber not being able to sleep. It was 3am in Ennis but he did not care and I was happy to have a few more moments of not being alone.
