I never knew this day would come, never thought that this would happen; now I'm here counting the days,before I leave my beloved husband and family, relatives and friends and my home. I just received a phone call from my grandfather telling me that my papers has arrived. I want to cry, but I don't have anymore tears to shed, it seems that my mind was telling my heart to just face what will happen. I feel happy, sad, excited and lonely at the same time, mixed emotions as they say; happy because I know that this opportunity will give me and my husband a chance to provide good life, education for our future kids, sad because I'm going to leave everything that I have her, my husband, my family and friends, excited because I'll get to see the other side of the world, and lonely because I'm going to start without my husband and with no friends at all. A new path lies ahead for me in the next couple of months; I know that even though I have mixed emotions right now, God will help me on my new beginning in Canada.

Grab the opportunity Auds. Your husband could very well understand that it for you and your husband's future good. As i have known, you can get your husband after two years of working there, and two years is just a short time. Have your husband something that he could be very busy with while you are away. Just always pray for the both of you and your family and you will not fail. Good luck!

Thanks Tita D, He's leaving as well, He'll be working with my Uncle somewhere in Jamaica, he's just waiting for his papers and a call from the agency. I know God will guide us along the way.

thanks, that's what I've been telling myself, I'm lucky to have a chance like this. I know that after two years I can petition my husband, still leaving is the hardest thing to do, just the thought of leaving him for 2 years makes me cry and sad; we got married just recently and were just starting to get to know each other as husband and wife. Two years is still two years, so many things can happen or might happen..

Don't look at it like it's a bad thing, look at it that when the 2 years are over everything will be better. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. Lets face it, though 2 years seems like a long time, it's only 24 months. Time has a way of passing by fast if you don't dwell on the negative aspect. Before you know it it will be over and everything will be better and happier.

Usually our first step is the most difficult thing to do. I can't also imagine myself leaving that way but take courage and gather strength from your loved ones. You have a wonderful opportunity up ahead you and as well as for your family. Just think that you have the chance in your hands to give your family a good life so you should grab it. Time passes swiftly so it may never be that long. Good luck and God bless.
