I am in total "can't sit still" mode here. Luz will arrive in 30 hours and my head is spinning! :dance::dance::dance: As some of you may know this has been a 3 year long ordeal for us. It seemed that there were non-stop roadblocks for three years straight. We overcame them one-at-a-time and our reward is now close. I just can't picture the moment when Luz and Robin step off of the airplane tomorrow afternoon. It all just doesn't seem real yet.

Luz and I had our last web chat last night. She is in Manila and she talked to me from a cafe near the hotel. That will seem weird. Other than my visits there, for three years all I saw of her was over a web cam. It will be nice to have a conversation with her without a cam freezing or the mic stopping.

My life is about to radically change. I have been alone for a long time now and I try to imagine Luz and Robin living our daily lives together. It's the little things I look forward to most. Dinner with a family, family vacations, sunday outings together and just having a normal life for a change. And to have these things with a woman that I am absolutely nuts about makes the future seem like heaven.

Thanks for the forum to drivel on. I just needed to let it out before I explode!

Congratulations :thumbs:

You got me beat.......been "only" 2 years for my wife and I.......being separated, that is.

One thing I can empathize and relate to with you............is after such a long separation, to see her(my wife) that one day, get off the plane, and to finally be back home again.....(a feeling much like you will experience with your own wife).............will be a day to behold and remember.

I'm happy for you, your spouse, and family.........
