I remember arriving on May 17, 2016 and here it is January 11th 2019. I am now a permanent resident of Canada! Oh, Canada! Instead of having no country to call my own, I now have two countries I call MY own.
When this journey started, it was the most arduous I embarked on and at the time had no idea just how complicated it was going to be. Altho I have not crossed the border to the US as of yet, we will be going in 2019.
I look back on the last 5 years and it is a blur. The chemo. Meeting Mr B for the first time in Plattsburgh, NY when I was not allowed to cross the border into Canada and spend time in Montreal with my future husband. Oh THE most horrid time in my life...well almost. But with faith and perseverance and hiring the right immigration lawyers - we made the journey. The Universe always has a plan. smiles May not always be the way "we" think it should be but it's a plan and the end result was what we wanted.
Going back to Minnesota. Getting things in order there. Realizing that the easiest way for us to start this journey was Red Lodge, Montana. Our marriage...casual...not stuff...not formal. Having two dear friends officiate - Nancy & Linda. Having my friends there....friends that would also become Mr. B's friends too. Funny how things happen....the journey of a gypsy who found, despite obstacles and detours, what home really....what a deep love really is.....
The Universe likes to keep us in suspense at times. And, here it is 2019. I am safely with Mr B. My rock. My home. My love. Home is not a place. Home is where your heart is. Home is the rock. Home will always be where Mr B is.
The journey continues...twists and turns...never dull.
