 Under pressure
"..... he was in a bind, cos he was way behind, and he was willing to make a deal..." Marty Robbins
".... under pressure, pushing down on me, pushing down on me..." Queen 

You might know these songs but I'm beginning to understand the words on a personal level, beginning to live them to some extent. They say that "necessity is the mother of invention" well fat lot of good that saying does when your there, I can tell you.

It's horrendous being so far away from my wife and the distance, the difference in the time zone, the time it takes to earn enough to fly back and forth, it all adds up. It doesn't help that the whole immigration process is so bad for legal immigrants either but I shoulda known that, being its an official government department!!

With Danielle being pregnant too, I'm missing a hell of a lot and she needs me there of course while she goes through all this. It's her frst kid and mine so its a big significant time for both of us and one we should be sharing by being together, not "sharing" over the internet and over the phone. It was a planned pregnancy, in case you were wondering too, and the reason we planed it was that we didnt figure on getting screwed by the immigration. As far as we were aware, I could - should - have been there with her right now. So much for planning!

It's worrying and stressful being so far away and of course, I DO want to be there and go to all those appointments with her and look after her, like a husband should. I only want to be with my wife, to go and work there so I can pay for her and to raise our family together. I wnt to go there to do all this because, I Love Her! Its not because I want to "be" im America. If I hadn't met her and fell in love with her, it would never have entered my head to even visit the States, never mind to move there.

This is a stressful, worrying, pressured time for us both and every day I try to think of ways that I could get this sorted so we could be back together and the pressure would ease up. Every day I have been thwarted by my own mind too. It doesnt help that I got sick twice, (gastric influenza followed by C.Diff), since I came back to the UK either, because if I dont work, I dont earn since Im working for an agency.

We both want this to be over and neither of us want to bore anyone, we just want to be together. I pray that it will be soon because I'm certain that I'm not asking for much. Am I? :(

Not asking too much at all... I'd loan you my teletransporter if I hadn't broken the thing!
Reminds me of the military years overseas... no way to get home... just toughing it out, day by day, hoping it would all just be a bad dream someday (sure enough, that day came!)

Hey hun, it makes me so sad to know you and danielle are going through this.
I know how much you need each other at this moment in time, let alone anytime when you are in love.
All my heart and thoughts are with you both.xx

I don't think you're asking for much. Very good to know that you really want to be with her when she's going through this. Hope you find a way to appease both sides if that's possible.

My thoughts and prayers always include you both. It's well overdue for you to be together and getting on with your futures in peace.

Miles and miles and miles apart.
Although so far you've touched my heart.
Your laugh, your voice, your adoring smile,
Seem to shorten every mile.





I wake every morning and rest at night,
my thoughts and dreams filled with your sight.
Oh how I wish, even for one night,
I could lay in your arms and you hold me tight.

Not just a little briused or battered,
When I think of the distance it's completely shattered.
We'll never give up or say goodbye.
Remember together, the moon in the sky.
Your heart's a part of me and mine of you.
With that alone, we shall not be blue.
