my poor husband wanted to come with me so bad and he was upset that I came down there early and that I couldnt bring him back with me. But I couldnt be away any longer.
yes it is sooo hard to leave them behind......i cry for days after and hubby is just miserable....they say Canada strives to keep family unification in the fore front but how can that be when these process are soo long.......how would they feel if they couldn't be with their spouses for around 18 months and some VO's have longer timelines then ours!carm_cnd said:LOL well after my last email to them being very colourful wording lol I'm sure they thought they should get back to me before I got upset.
