.........because I have my VISA!!!!! Thank you, thank you thank you!!! I can't explain how happy I am right now....so just believe me!! LOL

So, two years and two days later, my family can be a family again!

I found out Monday that the package was in Montreal post office and have been checking the progress since. The computer system for Canada post, said "Montreal post office" until this morning when it said that it had arrived in Hamilton at 8:00 this morning. My next thought was....okay it's in Hamilton, now how many more days until they deliver it?? Well, I called the 1800 number at 10:00 and it said, "OUT FOR DELIVERY". WOO HOO!! Then I impatiently sat in my house trying to keep busy and hoping for the best but expecting the worst (normally I don't think about the worst but if you know what I went through then you would know why). Finally at 1:47 pm (not that I noticed the time or anything LOL) the doorbell rang!!! Of coarse with my past experience, I immedeitly looked at the thickness of the envelope that she was holding and could tell that it was thick!!! I sat down and slowly opened the envelope so I could remember this beautiful day and found my passport with the VISA, a letter of explanation and the 'sealed envelope'!!

So...I wanted to let you guys know that I am once again a happy camper and thank you for all your help and support throughout this process!!

I'll be back on later as soon as I get off cloud 9 to ask a few questions regarding POE.

Thanks
