A very good friend of mine asked me to accompany her to her grandparents. She didn’t want to go alone, because their place was “a little weird”. I didn’t quite understand what she meant, but I said yes. It turned out that “their place” was a retirement home.

I’m sure you hate those situations too: valentines day is ahead and you don’t have the slightest idea what to buy for your partner. Same goes for Christmas, birthdays and all the other days, when your partner expects you to buy something nice. The bar is set very high. In fact nearly unreachable high. Sounds familiar?

We have all been in this situation, you meet someone very special, you fall in love, everything is perfect, then suddenly it turns out that this very special someone had to leave far far away for college, better job, expedition, you name it. You then have to choices: breaking up or to go for a long distance relationship.
