We were in Memphis this week for the immigration interview that should have given John his permanent residency. We got someone who apparently is making it his life's work to put fear and uncertainty in couples like us who are just trying to do things legally and by the book. It was a hard trip.
We have to wait now. We will get a letter after this guy reviews our file (life) again to determine if he will be approved or denied. The interviewer went so far as to tell John that if he was denied, they would come pick him up and send him back to England. Naturally I was sitting there crying my eyes out at this guy's cold and heartless demeaner and the way he acted as if our life was in his hands and his alone. Needless to say, it was a long 10 hour drive home.
John was fine. Well, ok, he did try to put diesel in my car after pulling into a gas station on the wrong side of the pump and taking the keys out while it was still in drive...first time I ever saw him visibly shaken.
Just having to wait now.
Guess we will be getting something in the mail. An envelope. A letter. News from the government telling us if we will be allowed to continue to live together. Gotta love the government.

Take it as you Read it
You know, do we ever have any idea? Do you ever dream about your true love? Are you with your true love? They say you only live once, well let me ask you this. Do you live your life or do you just do the same thing day in day out? Is life a routine? Do you wake up thinking here we go? Do you live your life or do you just drag yourself through day to day? You could be that one that as you see it, love will never happen. Well let me ask you one last thing. What would you do if you found love, real love, the love you dream about, how far would you go? How easy would you find it to give up on it? (ok i know there was more than one question there) what I am trying to say is, how far would you go if you found love, plus if you did find it, would you realy go that far?
Well for me life and every day will never be the same. You may say "yes you are one of the lucky ones, that will never happen to me, no one will love me that much." Well what if you did, what if they loved you that much, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Well I will tell you. Yes I know it's not going to be easy, but in your dream didn't you say you would do anything for the love of your life??? (or did you not mean it) Yes I am one of the lucky ones and the reason is coz when I found my love, I mean my true love, nothing was going to stop me, and it didn't. Every day I wake up. Everyday is different, no day is the same. You know it, it's always if I could hold you, kiss you again. Well I don't think like that anymore. I think God I can't wait till the next time.
From day one, the every first time I talked to Buttercup, my heart has made a sound it had never made before. Iit was the sound of true love. It knew were it wanted to be. ALL I AM GOING TO SAY IS BUTTERCUP IS MY TRUE LOVE, NOTHING AND NOTHING, NO DAY WILL EVER BE THE SAME,I HAVE FOUND MY TRUE LOVE, MY HEART KNOWS WHERE IT BELONGS. EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY.--------------------BUTTERCUP I LOVE YOU ALWAYS, MORE THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW,I LOVE YOU FROM THIS MOMENT ON AND ALWAYS ALWAYS MORE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Am I Acting Funny?
Well a lot of people have been asking me "what's up?" I keep saying "I am ok" but i don't think that is the truth. I think I am starting to get a bit worried, when you think of how far we have come and all we have been through, all the things we have to get over. It's all going to come down to some guy or woman that I don't even know or have ever met.
When you think it may not matter how we feel, it could all come down to someone in a bad mood or if they like you or not. Will they be able to see just how much we love each other, how we want to spend the rest of our lives together? I have even had it asked "Did you do it to get into the USA?" All that tells me is that they don't know me one bit.
I am a very proud Englishman. I was in the army and was in the first gulf war and was a guard for the royal family. After that I had a good job and my own home, loved being with my kids every day, playing with my grandkids. Plus I loved my dog Eric (he was more than a dog to me, he was a mate.) Then there are all my mates I had to leave. Keith was a great mate, miss him a lot. So the answer to it is no no no I didn't move here and do all this just to get into the USA. I would have moved to the North Pole if that is were Christine would had been from.
So maybe I am acting a bit funny, plus I am a bit worried. The thing is I LOVE HER and will do whatever it takes to be with her for the rest of my life.
So sorry if I am acting a bit funny Babe, it's just I am worried.

Buttercup's response:
Babe, I know... I know. But we did not come this far to lose it all so easily, whatever happens, as it has been this far, we will get over... we will not let go. You know my heart. You know my dreams and how they are impossible to achieve without you. You are my life now.. together we can do anything!
Don't worry honey, it's gonna be ok. We can do this. We WILL do this. They will see and understand as all our friends and family have seen. Think of how all our friends and family that have told each of us that they have never seen us so happy as when we are together. Strangers can see it, people in bad moods change their moods inspired by it.
I love you.

HOW THINGS ARE GOING
Well not had the time to write anything for some time(working most of the time). Well me and Buttercup are as strong as ever, I still wake up every day and look at her, think just how beautiful she is and just how much l love her. The love inside me just grows and grows, the love is like a wild white water river, rushing and flowing and never stops.
Well our xmas was great Carrie and the grandkids were here for 2 weeks,with Paul, all came over from England. First time Buttercup had met them all, they all got on great. Carrie also got to meet her new brothers and her new sister. It was so good to see them all getting on so well. Then came the time for them all to go back, yes before you all ask, yes, l did cry. l was doing so well until the grandkids started to cry, that did me in. The hurt inside me was just too much, I didn't want to let go of them and seeing Carrie trying to not cry too, well i just couldn't help it. Then the other day Buttercup found one of their toys, l had to go off and have a bit of a cry.
l know we still have a lot to get over, got the interview on the 25th jan. l will be glad when all that is over. lt's as if we are still under a cloud.W hen all that is over with then we can start to move on. lt's going to be a big thing for us, God, to just see how far we have come.
We know just how lucky we are, all the things we have had to do and all we have had to get over. l never in all my dream ever thought I would ever have anyone as wounderful and as beautiful as Buttercup. l still can't put it into words just how much l love her, she is the light of my life. l do want to spend the rest of my life with her. l don't even like going to work,l just want to spend every second, every moment with her. Her smile just lights me up. The warm in her heart, the way she holds me, the love inside me for her, lt's like time, it's never ending. lt will never end, it just grows and grows, gets stronger and stronger. She is my 8th wonder of the world, she is my world. Well l will try to write again soon.
Buttercup l love you more ;)))))))))))))) x x x x x x x x x x
