1.) I would not have to pine away for her if she were in the same zip code as me. As is, I see her two or three times a year. And that is just not close to enough for someone whose heart is in my heart all the time.
2.) We would have so many adventures. Rooftop parties with Irish guys in Wrigleyville, brunch on the mag mile, shopping with money we don't really have. Vodka tonics, doritos, Mom's salsa and walks along the lakefront. Perfection, right?
3.) We could share clothing. Valerie has seriously gorgeous stuff in her wardrobe and if she were easily accessible, her clothes would be too. And vice versa for mine. Although mine are less exciting.
4.)I could tell her about my life in person. On evenings that involve wine or chocolate when necessary. Besides, when things go awry, she'd be here to force feed me Sicilian Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.
5.) Our epic hunts for the loves of our lives would be infinitely better with mutual moral support in person, not just via facebook chat or phone calls.
6.) While talking on the phone or conversing online is lovely and a great way to stay in touch, the Valerie response faces are lacking. The exasperated eyes or the frustrated lip curl or the excited smile that is just so contagious you feel all rainbows-kittens-unicorns-sunshine happy about it. These are priceless moments, lost in distance. Tragic.
7.) Did I mention if we were together I would get to miss her less?
8.) Infinite wisdom. Infinite support. Infinite love. Infinite hope. Present in current relationship. Really put in to practice with new, closer relationship with less distance. There are not many people in the world that remind me no matter what. no matter how black things get, no matter how far off course I roam that things will be ok, that I'm incredible with the same fierceness as Valerie. (Mutual feeling, of course)
9.) We would for sure be able to really shake each other out of current moods and funks. With happiness and love and hugs and sunshine. And probably more rainbows.
I miss you, Valerie Joyce Cynthia Jonkoff.
Hugs and kisses,
A
