Homesick

[ceriserose 1]

I'm having a bout of homesickness that's bumming me right out. I have an approved green card but it had an error so I had to send it back. I have no idea when I might get the correct one back, don't know if it's possible to make an infopass to get a stamp. I don't know if it's worth it, if I might get the card soonish.

Some of my family were supposed to visit this month and just cancelled until September (for really good reasons, but still it'####### me hard). I'm busy like crazy at work and happy as heck with CAPS, but just feeling like I'll never get out of the government paperwork and just be able to see my grandparents again (they can't travel and they've been sick).

I thought maybe a little whining here would work like it seems to for others...right after the whine/rant, something good happens.

Until then, hopefully y'all can commisserate or at least help me feel a little better.

*hug* Your VJ family is always ready to lend an ear. You're a very positive and intelligent person, your feelings are totally normal, and I know I and many other people hope you feel better soon.

aw... sorry.

moving away from family is hard. Especially if you are unable to go see them yourself.

hopefully your green card will be returned to you shortly. When you get it, you can just fly right on home

I know about being homesick...

It s not easy at all to be far from family.

As hubby and I are always doing things with his family i m getting really frustrated to do not do things with mine.

Hope things get better

Sending hugs your way

Sorry about that, I am sure it's tough to stay away from the family.

It's got me thinking though. During the process we're eager, desperate and can't wait to go to our hubbies and fiances, and then we get homesick and can't wait to go back to our mommies and daddies.

awwww........hope tomorrow is a better day for you.........

Thanks you all. I know it's pretty natural and I've done well so far. I'm really happy and settling quite well, overall, just occasionally it gets to me. I guess my family not being able to come tipped the balance.

I'm going to make CAPS take me shopping tonight. I'm sure things will be better then.

you know how bad i want to just say .... ok, we'll be right over to visit!?!?! work has been equally as crazy here! i'm just getting ready to transfer a patient to a florida hospital and I (<note CAP for effect) have to physically go with her!! JOY!

sorry that you've been bummed out, can i offer you a phone date with me this weekend as a consolation prize?? you bring the bailey's and i'll bring the wine!! in the interim ... i think shopping is an EXCELLENT idea!!! maybe CAPS will want to play a game when he gets home tonight (see below) ... miss you!

Awww...I really hope you feel better. I'm not very good at cheering people up. When I lived in UK with my hubby, I got boughts of homesickness that nearly crippled me. But, they do come in waves. I promise. Just keep your eye on the prize!
