So, Mike told me that his brother is having surgery again on his cancer next Monday (Feb.4th) and I asked if it was serious or anything, and he said he didn't know. I personally think he's scared right now about it. He will not talk more about it with me, but just let me know what has been going on. I just wish he'd open up to me about it, with being together for a year now.. but I guess some people are that way... but anyways, Mike is leaving on that day also to go to California for work.. for a week, until Friday, I think. So he was going to come down this weekend, but instead, he let me know what was going on, of course, I am fine with it. I completely understand, but the thing is, I can't bring myself to "be OKAY" about it. I wish I could be there for him, but I can't be. I am stuck here in Columbus, and he's in Cleveland. Oh, the joys of long distance relationships (haha - that is sarcasm..) We are just doing fine, we both do not like being apart, though, so we both always talk about it to our friends. My friend told me that Mike was telling her & her boyfriend how much it sucked being away in Texas and he couldn't talk to me and all he really got to do was to say hi & bye, and that was about it.
GOSH! 4 more quarters then I will be finally a college graduate.
Also, I am wondering if you have tips and advice of how to support him during this time? I just don't know how to be there if I can't be THERE in Cleveland.. I know it seems silly to ask.. I don't know how to be a girlfriend, be that someone he can lean on to, but.. he knows that anyways... it's just hard.all I can do is to be there for him when we talk on-line, but that's all.
AND one last thing, please think & pray for Mike & his family, especially his brother who will be going through it again.
Thanks!
