Its been a very long time since I’ve written my last blog post. Just after my last post in Peru, Cati broke her ankle bouldering while were at 4300m and we had to make an emergency trip to Lima via 6 hour cab ride. Upon arrival we were told she needed immediate surgery. She didn’t have travelers insurance which meant changing our tickets to the soonest possible departure to Cordoba (Catis home city.)
Without being too long winded, We made it there, she had her surgery and I met her entire family. We had an amazing Christmas together in the warm warm climate Argentina offers and Cati made a lot of recovery for the 3.5 weeks I was there.
For personal reasons I felt I needed to come back to Canada in the beginning of January which meant saying goodbye (again) to Cati. Both in love and neither of us wanting to say goodbye, We decided to stay together and try to make things work. That was 3 months ago, and I can safely say that this was the hardest thing to date we have put our relationship through. I’ve always told myself, and even told Cati when I met her that I would never want to be in a long distance relationship. I failed to realize that you don’t really get to choose these things because when you love someone, anything goes…
So, today? I’m happy to say that I’m sitting on a cramped seat on an American airlines flight on route to Dallas Fortworth where I will connect onto a Lan Argentina flight scheduled to land me in Buenos Aires At 755am tomorrow morning. After all the shitty feeling of being alone I’m within hours of wrapping my arms around Cati and I’m sooo excited. With 14 hours of travel time, its hard not to reflect on the last 3 months of non stop work, the late night Skype chats, the endless Facebook messages, lonely sleeps, and all the other things I’ve been through to get the this point in time. I now feel that without a doubt all of the above mentioned was worth it. I’m in love, and there is nothing I wouldn’t do to follow my heart. Crazy? Maybe… But it sure is fun...Te amo Cati!
