Long Distance Friendships

ok so everyone is probably wondering what this picture of a gift bag has to do with anything. and what the heck it had to do with long distance friendships. currently i am in more long distance friendships than i am in friendships with ppl who live really close to me.

but last night, i got to talk to my newest long distance friend, which was in fact Denise. for those of u who dont know, Denise or as i like to call her, Niecy, moved to Bangor in Maine just after christmas. we talked on the phone for 2.5 hrs. it was just sooo good. Denise and I became really really close in the 3 months she was here in Vancouver, so i am missing her heaps. so talking to her was amazing.

And i was thinking tonight, what is the point in long distance relationships. why does God allow me to get soooo close to someone, only for them to leave a few months later? and i have found it really helpful to have someone who knows the community i am living in and knows what i am going through, but yet is outside of Vancouver at the same time. and its always good to get an outside perspective and outsiders advice on problems etc going on.

i still dont know why God allowed me to get sooooooo close to Niecy only for her to move away.... like i still dont understand the full reason, but all i know is that our friendship hasnt become anything less because she is in a different country.... we r still very much connected. i cant really explain it, but although i miss her, i know she is doing amazing things and i still get to talk to her.

so Denise, know that i luv u heaps and that u r such an amazing person. i appreciate you heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and i am glad that i can talk to you bout anything and everything and i am sooo glad that we have become such good friends. what i love most is the fact that i can talk to you bout stuff going on here and u get it..... u understand. so know that i appreciate you heaps.

so i bet by the end of this post, everyone is wondering why i have a picture of a spongebob squarepants gift bag as part of this post, it seems to have nothing to do with the post..... but in fact it has everything to do with the post!!!!!!! u see.... niecy, soooo cute. she is very good at imitating this face of spongebob. everytime i see it, it reminds me of her. makes me laugh always! luv u Niecy!

ok so here is a real pic of me and denise, for those of u who dont know who she is.... how gorgeous is she!!!!! he he!!!
