Days of Long Distance
But at the end of the day, we had no doubt that we would be together in the end.
Of course during our LDR there were highs, lows and testing times that we had to navigate together.
Once it came time to close the distance we had been through so much and knew we'd be able to help others that are experiencing similar situations.
If you're still reading you may be one of those couples facing tough times. We're here to help!
