Love in Separation
Maybe it's because last week I again left home (Washington, DC) to come home (Tampa, Florida), but I've been thinking a lot about love in separation.
Most of my friends and family are still back in Washington, yet I have chosen to move a thousand miles away from them. I don't regret my choice exactly, but I sure do miss my loved ones back in Washington. And much as I like Florida, it gets lonely sometimes here without them.
Thinking about being away from those I love made me realize that love in separation is a recurring theme in my writing. Just off the top of my head I can think of three stories where the "happy couple" end up apart. Still in love, just apart.
We can't always be with the people we love, but that doesn't mean that we love them any less or think about them any less. It's just not a perfect world and you can't have everything you want.
I guess I better start planning my next trip to Washington, DC to visit my nearest and dearest. That always helps.
