South America
I haven't seen my wife in over nine months now. She's in Cochabamba, Bolivia, South America, where she is originally from. It has been pure torture for me this whole time, hoping that we will be together again soon. I had a chance to go there some time ago, but she said that there were things that she needed to get done there that should not take long and then she would return, and she asked me to wait here, so I gave up the house that I was renting for us to stay in which she had never even got to see, and I left Virginia and went out to help the Obama campaign so that at least I could be helping to protect the country that she loves so much while continuing my activist work to make the world a better place. An awful lot has happened since then and just recently she has told me that she is ready to come back, but neither one of us has the money and flights are really expensive right now... so I was just wondering. How many other people out there are also separated from someone they love and unable to do anything about it for lack of being able to afford the trip to be together.

It's actually easier that way. I've always had some family left somewhere but I'm usually far away from them and I'm so used to it that it pretty much feels like having nobody... but when you give your heart to someone and they run off with it to another country, it may be metaphorical but the pain is worse than any physical pain I've ever known... and I used to have chronic sinus pressure headaches which make severe migraines (which I had less often) feel like a vacation. I keep thinking how nice it would be to fall asleep and not wake up... but I can't sleep. :( This is no way to live. Every day I keep trying to go on just so that I can do the same the next day in the hopes that some day the waiting will be over and I won't have to wonder anymore. I'm sorry that you have no family or friends to be with. I hope things get better for you.

Answered No, I was lucky enough to be with the one I love for Independence Day 2008.
You look sad on your video. I feel your sadness. I spent part of today with my Husband, and then he had to leave and go to work. We grilled hamburgers for lunch. But, our children are spread all over the state, and the price of gas has been preventing us from travelling to see them as often as we would like to. I have been off work on a long extended sick leave for 3 months, and as a result our income has dropped dramatically, making it extra hard to travel. I will call my children, and watch the fireworks on TV alone this evening. -
I was doing my best to look happy, in case my wife actually gets to see it some day. She doesn't like to know when I'm going through a rough time.
My wife is in the city where her daughters live, and her sister and brothers and parents. I have no family at all where I am. No home. No steady job. No sleep. Almost no will to live. Too much pain... and not enough options.
If I'm suddenly not on here anymore, it probably means that I am walking across central america... again. -
Answered Yes, travel expenses have kept me from being able to spend Independence Day 2008 with the one I love
I don't even know if she'll be able to find a way to see this, but I hope I at least get the chance soon to tell her about it.
*sigh* It's been far too long. I wish we were together. -
Doing my best... but I'm living in my van right now to keep from having to spend any of what little I have on a place to stay, and that of course makes working even temp jobs that much harder... and I'm not used to the hot weather we've got here in Texas... so all I can do is keep trying until I succeed or it kills me. I just hope one of the two happens soon.
