7 days with You

Introduction
Life is so short.  After high school graduation everything is like a blur...gone are the careless days of running free with no worries in the world. College and University are a full time job...between coffee breaks and working a real job to stay alive, there are endless papers and projects and exams and reports and labs and productions...and then, all-of-a-sudden you graduate and are off into the real world to figure out what to do...and once you think you are on the right path, wham, reality checks-in, and there are bills to pay, responsibilities, career, relationship...
...it all goes so fast. Sometimes its nice to just step back and look at your life just so you cant remember who you are.
For me, after spending 6 years in my career and realizing it was not what I expected or wanted, I was faced with starting over.  Stats show that most people will change their career up to 3 times in their life. That's huge! When you think about all the time and money you spend in school trying to figure out what road to take and once you decided and put all your time and energy and finances into the goal, its sad to come to the realization that you probably wont end up where you thought you would.
A waste of time? Not at all. It is a part of growing and learning and living life.
Relationships are probably along the same lines. I have spent so much time and energy in various relationship that I thought were 'the one' and in the end come to realize it was not what I wanted to needed.  But eventually you find what you are looking for...or need...and then time slips away from you.
I've decided to make every bit count!
At the moment me and my love are a part...due to immigration laws and endless paper work, we cannot be together as we would like. It is a very trying and stressful time for us...we want so much to be together...but have to deal with this time a part in a manageable and meaningful way.
I am writing a small journal for my love, titled "7 days with you"...and I am picking 7 of the most important days of our relationship together...7 days that made what we have real and incredible...7 days not to be forgotten...7 days that were the most crucial of our bond...7 days that brought us 'forever' moments.
A love story? Maybe. A life story? Why not.  Lessons learned are always a bonus.
Its not all flowers and sunshine...but what we have was made incredible by what we shared...and so often in life we forget to share the little things...taking moments in life to appreciate and to be thankful.
So here are my 7 days...
