My father died this morning and am completely devastated. I could not even be there at the end for I do not have advance parole... I am numb with pain.

Paul and I met on the Bazaar on the 14th January (he joined my progressive rock forum that day)

July 3rd he flew to England to meet me

We fell in love while he drove all over the place coz I cannot read maps (we were supposed to go to Ingleton - but touched Darlington 4 times, Pierce Bridge 6 times, Scotch Corner twice and Bernard Castle twice and we never did make it to Ingleton)

It has been so long and so much has happened in between...

Arrived in Houston on October 29th 2006

Married 17th November 2006

Lost my father 8th January 2007 (all dates are a blur after this)

Conditional Green Card dated 24th October 2007

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS

Melo big hugs :(

Did you know you can go to an infopass appointment and ask them about emergency advanced parole, they should allow you to go home for this. I know one of my friends did this, she was in the same position as you. They allowed her to go home.

Again so sorry for your loss.

I could not have got there in time for the funeral; my mum, brother and I talked about it. Even if I had got the advance parole immediately, it would have taken another 20 odd hours flying time to get to India. I wish I had one last chance to see him, to talk to him... but...

Thank you for your support.
