ROMANCE SURVIVAL KIT
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

Athena and I are rarely apart. I'm grateful for that.

Some couples aren't that fortunate.  Many people are separated often
because of their jobs.  Others begin their relationship apart as in
the case when you meet someone over the Internet or on vacation.

If you and your sweetheart are distanced from time to time you might
want to think about creating a romance survival kit.  It's a way to
help your loved one remember you when many miles are separating the
two of you.

Here are some suggested items to include.  You can probably come up
with dozens more that would be meaningful to your relationship.

* A photo of you, pets, children, house or whatever else is special.

* A scent of your perfume/cologne on a pillowcase

* A tin of his or her favorite goodies made just for them.

* A prepaid calling card.  Email is great but it doesn't compare to
hearing your voice.

* A love letter (hand written on stationary) that they can read over
and over again.

* A paper chain (that's an idea in my book) to count down the days
until you are back together.
