Sorry for the lack of updating. Things have been a bit crazy since my mom has had her surgery (day after Christmas). She’s still recovering, but is getting around well, so that makes me feel better. Max did receive his NE Patriots hoodie from me 😁
He really liked it. Christmas went really well. My son really enjoyed his presents 🎁 I was a bit worried with mom having her surgery the day after Christmas. Max and I were doing our daily Skype conversations and I believe it was like December 27th/28th that he was chatting with me and he said something along the lines of “even if nothing romantic comes from this, I know we have such a strong bond between us.” I didn’t say anything after he said it on the call because I was processing it and wondering if I heard it correctly. However, Max said something similar maybe two months into us talking. I waited like two days before bringing it up to him and he said “oh...yeah, I figured you were going to ask about that...” So, he goes into a mini speech about how he has let his parents and uncle/cousins know about me. They are happy for him but mentioned “you have a mortgage on your house. If you move to America your education/degree and your work skills may not transfer over and you may need to start from scratch. She already has a child. She may want more. Would she be willing to wait?” So, all of these questions they were asking him are very valid things he needs to be concerned about and unavoidable. So, I think it really made him have to stop and think about the reality of our situation. So, he mentions that he doesn’t want to put me in a position where he thinks I am being held prisoner and if I find a man who is closer to where I live and can be a good father figure for my son, he would give his blessings, but of course would want me to tell him if that ever happened. Needless to say, I cried a bit during that conversation and said I have no desire to look for anyone else. That Skype call was at least 1.5 hours. Max was quiet for at least 2-3 days and I wanted to give him the space he needed but give the impression that I wasn’t going anywhere. His uncle/cousins were in town through New Years and New Year’s Eve I texted him around midnight his time. He seemed very happy and said he was going to wish me the same at my time, but that would have been 6am for him to do that 🤣 So, he called me like Jan 2nd and he was driving home from visiting his friends for New Years and I said “thank you for including me in your New Year.” I think that softened him up and he realized I wasn’t going anywhere.
I feel like the bond between us has grown even stronger since that conversation. I’m still helping him with his sentences/paragraphs for his job. He daily asks about my mom’s recovery process, asking how my son is doing, making sure I’m doing well. I truly love Max and can’t wait to finally meet him ❤️ I haven’t been able to ask him recently since we’ve both have crazy schedules, but I still believe he’s trying to come out in August to visit me. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
So, to all you LDR couples out there, please stay strong ❤️ I’m very hopeful about our future. Will post more soon.
