“Call no matter what, even if you only have one free minute to say ‘hello, I’m thinking about you, I love you’.”

Before my wife and I were engaged, we lived long distance for four years (I was in the Army and she was working in LA). Before I moved out of LA to enter the Army, she said this to me regarding our daily communication. I thought about that every day while we were apart and I know it was one of the most important aspects of our time apart and is a major reason we are married today.
