Finally! The day I had been waiting for had arrived. My husband applied for a spouse visa and thankfully it has been granted. I am so grateful to the Almighty for this blessing. My heavy tears have now become my happy tears. Tear of joy.
As I pack my bag, the thought of leaving my family and friends hits me like a boulder. Suddenly there is a stabbing pain within the core of my chest and I am unable to utter a word. I freeze in the moment. My sisters are around me, giving me their time and effort. It is their last good deed for me and my daughter. They pack things for us as I have lost the strength to grasp or fold.
I sit at the edge of the bed, holding the post tightly. What I wanted is about to come true. Did I ever think of the sacrifices I would have to make? Did I consider the sacrifices my family and friends have to make? No. I only wanted to be with my husband to bring up our daughter together. Is that selfish of me?
