Right about the time when Jane and I started really making it known to each other how much we likes each other and were getting very close she announced her idea to move back to her home town of San Antonio Texas to teach in the public school system. She wanted my opinion and while this was killing me inside I pretended to think it was a great idea. I didn't feel like it was my place to try and put my foot down and say " I live you. You can't go!!"!we just weren't there yet. So I supported her. She realized pretty quickly that she indeed was not going to Texas and at that point a grad school in Cambridge Massachusetts presented itself. The MFA was specialized in voice as speech and she would be working with actors and getting all the same training that they would get. She would also spend a semester in Moscow. Many pieces fell into place and after her interview she was accepted. It was a 2 year MFA and she moves almost immediately. Her father and a friend came from Texas to help with the love and I met him at that point for the first time.
The moment she told me age got in I was excited and also a bit upset because I figured she and I would splinter apart. I have my own issues when it comes to long distance relationships. I just wasn't sure how it would all pan out. I was optimistic but uneasy. To my surprise she and I never went more than a couple weeks apart for the two years. She and I lived on the fung wah china town bus from manhattan to Boston. 4 hour rides each way. I'm glad it wasn't a 3 year program. That may have killed me.
