A Happy Ending
Met the love of my life just a couple months before moving to New Zealand. For a whole bunch of seemingly valid reasons he couldn’t come and we said goodbye at Belfast Intl. I had already rebooked to stay longer while drunk in a pub a week earlier, so 8 was flying back to have 12 hours , over night, to empty out my apartment and then fly to New Zealand. That goodbye nearly destroyed me. Knowing that I loved him so much, but we had been together such a short time that long distance would be a struggle… It was awful. We cried and held each other until it was almost too late and then I cried through security and the whole flight. Super heart breaking.
Happy ending though. Due to not having a car that day his dad dropped us off at the airport and when he saw how devastated my boyfriend was upon returning to the car he basically said, if she’s so important to you, why aren’t you going to New Zealand? And there we were, barely a month later he had a flight, a visa and we were apartment hunting. ❤️
I know in my heart we could’ve survived the distance, but I’m glad we didn’t have to try.
