Sooo here goes as promised. I want you all to know how grateful I am to those who have taken the time out of your day these past 7 months, who have shared their friendship, experiences, knowledge, inspiration, support, and now happiness in celebrating the last days of my immigration journey.
We have had good times and a few bad ones but what I've learned is that despite the mighty ups and downs, we have bonded by a common thread that has held and will continue to keep this group together; immigration. No matter our backgrounds, race, culture, sex, age, jobs, we here all have one main objective and that is to be reunited with our soul mates.
For the sponsors, all of us have flown repeatedly across the warm waters of the carribean sea to a breath taking island called Jamaica. We have exhausted every last vacation day, have stayed up on the phone til the sun came up, ran up our credit cards all for what? For the sake of Love....to be with the one person we are so CRAZY in love with. Isn't it crazy when GOD brought you both together that there was NOTHING unmistakeable about the face of LOVE? Wow......I have never met anyone of you in person but I admire each one of you for going through this process; your strength, your faith and your RESLIENCE to endure some of the most difficult days of your life you'll ever experience. That's what it's all about, to ENDURE, ENDURE, and ENDURE. Endurance to me is the distance and time in how long your can withstand the challenges of anything from the start to the very end without giving up or quitting.
Nothing good comes easy. That has been my mantra. I have never liked anything that came easy in my life and perhaps thats why I knew from the beginning, I could do it hence why God gave me the challenge. LOL. Boy was I in for a MASSIVE surprise!!! Though as equally important, He gave me somebody worthy of my ENDURANCE. This applies to all of you here whether you're the sponsor or the applicant.
I will never forget the day I met my husband. I was vacationing in Jamaica with my then EX of 9 years (on and off). The sun was setting in the beautiful west end cliffs of Negril and I was sitting on a ledge dangling my feet about 30 feet above the turquoise blue waters. In that very moment, I started talking to God. With tears rolling down my eyes, I asked him for my future husband. Told him I was ready and wished he would just introduce him to me already. LOL. I felt stuck because I was in a dead end relationship with EX and didn't know how to walk away without hurting him. But I realized that by staying, I was keeping us both from finding true happiness. That same day, I ended things with my ex and went to dinner......alone. Guess what happens next?? Just guess........
Here comes along my now very chattery, loveable, adorable and handsome husband. I was really annoyed because I was NOT in the mood to socialize, I wanted to be in a corner all night......ALONE! BUT, as much as I showed little interest in talking to him, he chatted away and chatted away and............chatted away. About what? About how lucky he was and that anything he ever asked for in life, he got. The nerve of this guy right? Like who does he think he is? What a nerd. Just leave me alone chatter box. But then after I left the restaurant and went back to my hotel room, something magical happened I couldn't wait to get dolled up, perfumed up, lip-glossed up and run back to see him!!!!!! My best friend, my everything. The rest is history
Now fast forward over 2 years later.....Jan 28, hubbie gets a passport request call. Our dream has finally come true. Our love has kept us glued and we have made Digicel $3,000 richer!
PS
Hubbie told me on our wedding day, didn't I tell you I was a lucky man? I told God the moment I laid eyes on you that you would one day be my wife.
Isn't it funny, we both asked God for each other on the same day?
Newbies please keep this thread going and make sure to give a warm welcome to all future new members. For all still waiting, "this time" will be your time just now. All who have finished, wishing each of you the Cinderella "happily ever after" all of us dreamt of as little girls.
