The truth is, Long distance relationship is not an easy thing to embark on. It requires a whole lot of efforts on both parties to make it work. It also requires patience, understanding, effective communication, faithfulness in all aspects even in things that may seem trivial on the part of both parties to make it work. When efforts are one-sided, it makes the other person feel neglected, unseen, and might even feel tired of the relationship on the long run. But when all hands are on deck, both parties involved putting in conscious efforts to make it work, it will turn out being worthwhile.
You did a very good work in helping to keep the environment clean. Kudos to you!
