Thank you to all the long-distance couples who struggled the<br />

past year. Just know<strong>in</strong>g there were so many people out there<br />

like myself and AJ helped us so much and revitalized our hope<br />

for the future. I am so grateful I found the <strong>Love</strong> Is Not Tourism<br />

facebook group and discord server, for the people who contribute<br />

to it and the support system it provides. Without these groups<br />

I would have felt so much more isolated and would not have<br />

made this book.<br />

Thank you to my boyfriend, AJ, for his support <strong>in</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g my<br />

book, and his openness to shar<strong>in</strong>g our story through my eyes<br />

with others <strong>in</strong> the world. I love you.<br />
