Absence really does make the heart grow fonder--

I can't believe how much I miss Jason. It's hard for me to admit when I need someone, but I honestly need him here to keep myself grounded. He has always been there to pick up the slack for me when I am down and just need time to myself and since he's been gone, I haven't had anyone around to do that. I hate the holes that are left when he is gone--his companionship, the easy rapport, the way he laughs at my goofyness or encourages my spirits or simply the way he looks when he says my name.

His absence makes me realize that I need to let him know how much I appreciate and adore him when he is here, so that he know honestly how much I do love him and how much I do need him even after 10 years.
