Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Maybe I’m just a bit emotional right now, but I really do miss my dear husband. He’s been away on an extended business trip, first to Frankfurt (the expected part) and now to Bangalore (the unexpected part). I know he is in good hands, with good friends and colleagues. I know he misses me too. But I do miss him so.

I watched a girly chick flick tonight too “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” and that made me cry and miss Alex even more. All very much my own doing, I know. During this ‘alone’ time, I do realize how much I take Alex for granted. I suppose that’s one aspect of the famous quote “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. When Alex is with me, I don’t really see so clearly how much he loves me. When we are apart, we make more effort (well, we need to make the effort) to talk to one another and to really treasure the little time we have to talk with one another. And we make the effort to say the little things that we don’t say as much normally on a day-to-day basis, like “I love you” instead of “how come this huge dining table is filled with books??” Yeah, I know that I nag too much (sorry dear!). I just pray that I will remember these times of absence so that my heart will always grow fonder, regardless of where the both of us are
