YAY! I'm glad you came back to let us know how you are doing!!!!

I hope Sharon didn't cry too much, but we care for you both very very much!!!!

I'm happy that your boss is keeping you on, why wouldn't he? I bet you are a super hard worker!

I'm proud of you for not giving up.

Hugs

~Laura

P.S. I knew Liz meant "Strongest" couple, not "Strangest" :lol:

That's funny!!!! ;)

I can tell you that Sharon is and always has been touched by the show of support we have been getting from everyone; this is a close knit community of strangers meaning that for people that have never met outside this community there is a bond such as that which holds the Universe together.

My boss is a lady and a wonderful woman slightly over half my age who is doing much more than she should for Sharon and I. Even though I work for the government as a contract employee she has renewed my contract every year for the past 18 years. Since telling her that I would be leaving 2 years ago she has moved me into a position where I could take care of both the work that was given to me and the necessities required of the immigration process. She was the one that always let me go to see Sharon with very little advanced notice. There are not many bosses like her, she’s the best.

Giving up was never an option nor has it ever been a seed planted in our minds, there is always an out that is beneficial, there plan A and if it fails plan B and if that fail I will proudly wear a Canelien T-shirt if Trailmix will design one.

As for the Strongest comment that had me wondering what was meant, I think I did say I was slow. I knew it wasn’t meant as something bad, I just thought it was some regional jargon and the meaning escaped me.

When I get mad about this process and where I am at, I think of the two of you, and shut my mouth, because I really have nothing to complain about in comparison. I will dance for joy when this finally gets worked out for you!!

Cassie, my dear you have much more right to complain than Sharon and I or many other on this site have, 4 years and still there are hoops before you, that is well beyond anything anyone should be put through. You dance for us and we will for you when you are finally free of all and everything.

Ron,

your boss is indeed a laudable woman. but then again, you are an amazing human being my friend, so it does not surprise me that she helps you. We're thinking about you, and Sharon, and her folk.

L&B

Hi Lenina, Thank you very much for the observation, Sharon would agree with you totally, I on the other hand would say I am just another human being going the best I can and aim to please but not always hit the target. I assure you that bosses like mine are far between and I doubt I would ever find another like her if I were to seek a different employer. In reality she'd rather I stay but also wants Sharon and I to be together and knows the reason for my wanting too be in Kansas. Sharon and I are always thinking of you and the others on the site especially in the Canadian forum, since Sharon doesn't have much time to be here I am the go-between between VJ and her.

Hello Lona, I have been missing your posts, I hope everything is well with you and Tony, I’m glad that you 2 have a short break now before continuing to the next step. Thank you for the wishes, we are thinking of CIC but that wouldn’t happen until Sharon is free of her obligations to her mother, which is why we are looking at CIC and still with USCIS. The good thing about CIC if we go that route is having Sharon here during the process which for a K1 is the opposite n the States. Will be praying for you and wishing you a speedy journey through the next process.

Thank you everyone it is such a good feeling to know that so many wonderful people who have their own lives to live and hoops to jump through have taken time to support us in the way each one of you have. I hope that soon we will be able to do and give to you what you are doing and giving to us.

I hope you realize that tonight I will be reading all these pages to Sharon and she will cry, Shame on you. Love you all very much, have a quick and pleasant journey.

Ron

I think the replies would have been better if answered individually, if I were counting the posts they would be doubled but I rather be sure that everyone gets acknowledgment whether in a single post or a community one, I do hope no-one has been offended or left out, there were so many to reply to. I know that I didn't thank everyone personally and that is a misstep on my part because in my heart everyone is thanked many times over for taking the time to be a part of our journey with love, caring and support even when I haven't been supportive lately because I was to wrapped up in our side of what is going on. I can tell you that I don't read everything posted in the Canada forum there is way to much and not enough time, there were things that I would have like to reply to but was and still am afraid to inject our trip into someone else post, I did do that in the past and didn't like it so now I am trying to be more cautious and sensitive towards others and not take from them by hijacking.

Love each and everyone and I learn daily from each and everyone through the question and answers and back and forth bantering.

You folk bring smiles to our faces and tears to our eyes, never know whether to love you or love you death.

Ron

SpiritAlight, Thank you vrey much
