Well said - speaking every day and making the other feel as if you are part of each other's lives is key; the hard part is that it ends after the phone and we still bounce off to live separate lives. I know it's weird, but sometimes I even forget (very momentarily), what she looks like... then I go back to the thousands of pictures we have...

Yeah, this reality is looming on the horizon. As it may be scary in a way, we find odd comfort in that we've discussed it quite a bit - and that the distance (hopefully) will go away one day. I find that it's what it gives our LDR the hope it needs to survive the distance for another year ...
On a brighter note: I'm requalified as a US CP because the LDR!
