What did you do for summer?

Its a strange thing, as I get older I see that the love of a good woman is the most crucial thing, its worth fighting for if you find it.

Here is a great MOHAA Story for you all that involves my summer:

I have been in my MOHAA clan for almost 2 years now, I joined in Jan 2003. Well in december of 03, this girl joined named Killer103B from New York. By that time I was a squad leader and she was placed in my squad. As the months went by we talked more and more, and pretty much fell completely in love with each other over the internet. I live in California, almost 3000 miles away from her and there are 2 year between us (15 and 17). We started talking a lot on the phone, and pretty soon our parents kinda clued in and figured out what was going on.

That lead to use actually being able to set up a meeting. On the morning of July 24th, I flew (by myself) out of San Francisco Intl Airport, had a connecting flight in Chicago, IL, and then was on my way to Syracuse, NY (close to her house). Her and her mom picked me up at the airport in Syracuse and we drove home. We hit it off immediatly, even though it was the first time we were together it felt like we knew eachother forever. It was an incredibly magical experience. While I was there we spent 3 days in Niagara Falls, Canada, and 3 days in Gettysburg, PA and spend the rest of the days just hanging out at her house. I had the time of my life.

I left there the morning of Augest 4th, and flew home. We were both a complete wreck for about a week after leaving each other, both of us on the brink of complete depression. That got better though and we have kinda learned to deal with the long distance and even though we are so far apart the relationship is still going strong and we are currently planning trips for this Christmas break and next summer.

I look back and realize how lucky I was to be able to do this, for both of us to have parents that would allow it to happen. I never felt better than I did when I was around this girl (Leanne) and it has been hell trying to live since I had to leave her.

Just a little inspirational story for you all, somebodies internet relationship actually working out for a change

Andy... you have no idea how lucky you were not to get off the plane and see some 40 year old overweight star Trekker holding a cardboard sign labeled "Andy"....

I'm just curious, who was 15, who was 17? I think it would kickass if you were the person that was 15.. .but im leaning more towards you being 17. You are very lucky indeed. Stay Strong. Dont cheat. And use a "firewall"

We talked on the phone, saw each other on the web cams, and our parents talked and planned it all out. I'm 17 by the way. I honestly think I would kill myself if I ever caught myself cheating...I really could never let anything like that happen. And for your last point...well...i'll just return the

Good luck to you Andy, I hope it works out.

I however right now am a broken man, my relationship has finished and seems theres no way to fix it.

Since saturday I think I ate 1 meal and only been able to sleep a few hours at night, waking at 4am and cant get back to sleep with my mind in total turmoil, I cant concentrate on anything all I have is a million thoughts about her in my head.

I hope time will help, I have been here before its a big struggle to snap yourself out of this frame of mind.

I am going to spend the weekend at my dads place, drink lots of beer and hopefully forget, at least for a few hours

Good luck on that relationship Andy.

And Jack, I feel ur pain buddy. My wife left me 3 weeks ago, 2 much mapping I guess.
It defintley screws your system up for awhile. I roam around our big house with 3 dogs follwing me around in utter silence all just staring at me like where's mom. Its sad indeed.

I am trying to as HARD as possible to stay away from a relationship. I fall for girls too easily. I tell myself this almost everyday, "First finish college and start paying of your loan, the rest will follow" I think if I get into a relationship right now, it would be hell, because I barely have time to do anything anymore.

BTW, great story. PS. USE SKYPE from www.SKYPE.com it is free, no banners no spyware completly free to call anywhere around the world. And it has better quality then a land telephone. I use it all the time (check my signature).

Hog, my prayers are with you.

This afternoon I was going out of my mind home alone, I went to visit my nephew who is I think 20 months old. He is always pleased to see me, I rolled around on the carpet with him letting him jump about on me, sooo needed to see something good and innocent. His grandma ( my bros mother in law) made me a cup of tea and gave me a piece of cake. I almost burst into tears at the joy of a little kindness pointed at me.

Tonight I am slowly coming to terms with reality, I feel a little better and can actually think. I am not the piece of crap that I have been made to feel, this situation I couldnt have done any more to make it right.

Hog, you probably been made to feel like it was all your fault too, but it takes two to tango right ? We make some mistakes but equally so do they, I am done with my guilt trip, looking back I couldnt have tried any harder, nothing ever goes to plan but your meant to fight for eachother and ride out the bad times.

Its their loss, We are good people.

Thx Jack, I appreciate that.
I've found that bad times means good times are just down the road so stay focused on that.
