Hiya,

In about 4 hours and 40 minutes, my taxi will be arriving to pick me up and take me to the first airport of the day. The day is finally here. My daughter and I are about to start our journey to our new home in the USA with Tommy.

I have tons of emotions going on right now. I have excitement, like so excited i'm about to burst. I have sadness, sad that my two sons won't be going with us, even though they dont live at home, and one has a child of his own, i feel very very sad. On top of that, I feel guilty, guilty that I am so happy and excited and leaving the boys and grandaughter behind :(

Right now, I feel physically sick, it might just be butterflies in my stomach but it feels really wierd, hah.

I can't believe this day has actually arrived. It's been a very long journey for us and took 15 months to actually physically get our Visas. I'm so glad that this god awful distance between Tommy and I is almost over!

Finally WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):):):)

Dawn.

OHMYGOSH Dawn! Finally at long last! I'm so very happy for you, woman! :dance: :dance: :dance:CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
