HERE, SOME UNIQUE WAYS COUPLES connect with each other when they’re physically separated:
♥ I sleep with her pillow in my arms. It’s a poor substitute, but it fools my subconscious into thinking she’s there, which is the only way I can sleep without her.
♥ I listen to his Traveling Wilbury CD. The Bob Dyland and Tom Petty duet.
♥ I take my husband’s cologne with me on business trips. One whiff and I feel like he’s there.
♥ When I go on a business trip. I use a snapshot of my husband as a bookmark. A framed picture would just get covered up by clutter; I prefer something that I know I’ll come face to face with at least a few times a day.
♥ I don’t erase any of his answering machine messages until he comes back. I like being able to reach over, push a button and hear his voice whenever I want.
♥ My husband and I have a ritual of remembrance: As he’s packing, I always sneak in one of my earrings. And he calls me as soon as he finds it.
