Richard and I met in Victoria at a Blues Jam, as we are both musicians. (Richard is a musician extrodinaire!) I immigrated into Canada in 1983. My mother is terminally ill, so I am needed back in San Diego in order to care for her, as I am a nurse and I love my family. Since Richard works in Canada and I took a leave of absence, we thought he could go back and forth to work. We had NO idea that the requirement was for him to apply for US status! Boy, were we surprized when they refused him entry into the US of A...! Life shaking, actually. Well, we are on this journey together. Thanks to this website, the process of filling out forms and arranging our package to send into the Lockbox has been easier. It has been over 2 months since we have seen one another. Thank you for all the support, as our stories help us to be patient and hopeful. Attaining love is a beautiful gift. True love is rare and well worth all this hassle. I feel blessed that I have the means to do this for my family. I am double blessed with a man that is willing to go through this with me. I love you Richard!
