well i bucked the whole system lol hubby is 6 years older then me!
Well.....my first story was short and sweet, i didn't know we all wanted mushy details so I will give you mine lol My girlfriend was dating a friend of my hubby's and she asked me if I wanted to go for a drive with her as she had to take her boyfriends friend to simcoe to see his brother who was up in Canada on farm work so I said sure, i got nothing better to do might as well. When I got out of the car there is my hubby sitting on the porch just waiting and when i walked past him he spoke saying "whats up girl, looking good" I just laughed him off and thought "whatever" to myself. Well the whole night visiting his brother he keep telling all the guys on the farm to take their eyes off me as I was taken......not that I understand him at the time because I had never been around Jamaican people before and as you know they talk faster then fast lol well we dated for a bit before I ended up moving in with him. I always said that God put us together at that time because we both needed each other, he had just lost his daughter 6 months earlier as she was killed by gunmen in JA and i had just seperated from a 20 year marriage that I had with my children's father. We helped each other to get through the rough times and it has been history since then. We got married in January of last year, it was kind of a big affair as I have a huge family but it was beautiful and I wouldn't change it for nothing. 3 days after the wedding, we had a meeting with immigration as my hubby had applied for refugee after his daughter was killed but he was denied and they told him he had 20 days to leave Canada and go back to JA, we begged the officer to give us a little more time and he extended it to 30 days. In February he went back to JA. This process has been really taxing and I am one to really hold things in but I am really losing it this weekend as it is my 1st anniversary and couldn't even spend it with my hubby. I guess we can all have bad days eh!
Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories, it really give you a sense of the other people to hear their life stories also especially when we are all going thru this at the same time.
