It didnt come easy, thats for sure. But today, after a sleepless night due to nightmares and too many thoughts in a too small space, we finally got the decision from the migration board. Dave is now officially welcome to the land of the North for the next ten years!! This is such a relief! It has taken "only" three months. Not as long as other cases and people, but way to long for day-to-day living in the uncertainty. The last of these month were extra hectic. I felt like we were fighting a battle against (for lack of better words...) non-caring, ignorant and lazy people. A big thank you to my dad, who lived through hell by our side with daily text messages, phone calls and weekly car rides down to the migration board in the near by town. I know i asked him to light a fire and anyone who knows my dad knows that it is not the person you want to fight against but someone you want on your side in battle. Thank you dad for being so awesome. This would not have happened this fast without you on our side.
Phuuu, i big weight has been lifted off our shoulders and now tickets and my emergency passport is next and i hope that is the last of it for a long while....
Such a great news day, but also lined with a heavy heart. Emma left Arizona this morning to go to Colorado to spend some quality time with Dave's parents. I am so happy for her and them that they are able to get this time together, but i hate the emptiness and the weird silence that now fill our home. Before she left we taught her how to text message from her ipad and how to call us using her Skype account. I hope she will use these tools because i miss her already but i hope she will have some sense of time and let her mom get her much needed sleep during the night. Only time will tell.....
This was her first text message she sent to Dave this morning <3
