To everyone moving to the States...

[Shannon ♥ Nick 0]

Some of you may know of us as Nick is an avid poster on a few different forums...

This afternoon he left his home for the last time and is on his way to stay at an airport hotel before leaving to come to me, to come home tomorrow, for the last time.

I'm just sitting here as he texts me that "it's scary and difficult to imagine" he won't see everything that has been so familiar to him, again. He's careful not to call it "home" as we've been calling the US home all through this process; but I know in my heart the UK is his home, where he's made all his memories for the last 35 years.

I sit here with tears streaming down my cheeks, knowing if our situations were reversed I'd be coming to him - without doubt or hesitation. Yet feeling so sad for his loss of 'home' and the life that he's always known. Never being able to fully understand how he feels and the emotions he's going through and being completely humbled by his love for me.

To all of you that are leaving your homes, families and friends to come to the US - thank you. I know the words are small but I have never meant them more.

OMG, u know i also have tears in my eyes!

If things turn out well, I will leave malaysia in just a few weeks.. I love new adventure and living abroad, but Malaysia has always been "home" for me. Family, friends, delicious food, 24hours cafes/restaurants, warm weather and rain, beaches, cities, villages... Only thing i wont miss is the KL rush hour traffic.

Well, hope Nick has a safe and uneventful flight and soon he will be with you and the kids and lil Ryan

Good luck to you both on your new life together.

We're still in the process of our journey by this time. I'll be the one leaving here in my home town. My fiance felt sad for me because he knows I am having great life and career here in my country. But then, I told him, I might achieves great career here in my country with very comfortable life, but then, after those things, I know there's still emptiness in my life. I don't want to get old achieving goals as what other people expected from me. I know for myself I am not going to be really happy in that kind of life. I've never been happy in my life since I met him because I've never been love unconditionally by someone since I met him. So, I don't care if I'm gonna hard time dealing with my new environment, I know I can cope up with it, he's always beside me. He did a lot of sacrifices for me, why can't I do that for him too!

Your words really touched my heart. I swear to GOD I feel EXACTLY the same way as you do about your fiance leaving everything behind, including his FAMILY & friends. I know it's going to be hard for my fiance to leave everything he's ever known behind to be here with me. The simple fact that he's willing to do all this for me shows just HOW MUCH he really loves me. I swear to GOD I would do the EXACT same thing for my fiance in a heartbeat! I LOVE HIM MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF & I CAN'T WAIT TO BE IN YOUR SHOES.... JUST MOMENTS BEFORE YOU'RE TOGETHER FOREVER! I'm soooooo happy & excited for you. I know we filed at about the same time & it makes me SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy to know that this whole process full of sadness & torture is FINALLY over for you. We are still waiting, but we received notice from USCIS a week ago that our case is being processed. They were just requesting the original copy of a document that we sent with our packet. We took care of it immediately... now all we can do is wait. God-willing we will hear some good news very soon. The good Lord knows we need it. Anyway, I sincerely want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. Congrats on your future hubby FINALLY coming home to be with you where he belongs, & CONGRATS on that precious little angel of yours! You've been truly blessed! I wish you a life FULL of happiness & love! Oh & thank you for all the kind words of support you sent me in the past. Don't think I've forgotten. You helped me understand a lot of things in the beginning of our journey. THANK YOU & MAY GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR NEW FAMILY! :D :D
