Welcome on the Kingston tread Queen P. We are all in the same rocking boat throughout this immigration journey. Therefore we truly understand the feeling. Ups and down, it's a roller coaster of emotions. Fortunately we are not all experiencing the break down at the same time, so there is always someone out here to cheer us up and lift up our spirits.
We don't have the same timeline, but we all have a long distance relationship history before initiating this immigration process, so I know what you and your husband are experiencing. Almost a year and a half waiting and nothing yet... It is frustrating, but I try to talk to myself and I say to my hubby each time that we are feeling low that we are truly blessed to have found each other, living hundred of kilometres appart, we are healthy, we do not live in misery and we have much less ahead of us in that dreadful process than we have behind. It has to come to an end and this might come sooner than we think.
I believe that everything happen for a reason, even when it is not particularly pleasant. They put our love and our will power to the test. If we can go through this we'll be better prepared to face all the challenges that will come our way after our spouse landing. That is what we are all longing for, but we can't fool ourselves, it won't be a walk in the park either.
It has to come to an end one day and nothing that is valuable in this life is given away easily. You have to work hard and being persistant in whatever goal you want to achieve. Getting to share my life with the man I love is worth lots of efforts and will power. I know that God is planning a long and happy life for us, it is just around the corner.
Stay strong, weeping and self pitty makes us weak. No pain, no gain, just like when we work out
Everything you are going through now is an investment for the future. Better days will come
