On July 6, 2017, David was deported back to Mexico.
Reading that sentence, it seems very harsh and callous. But ultimately, that is the reality of our situation, the reality we have come to accept.
Everything that I wrote in my last entry still holds true. We are still awaiting a decision on David's visa, and if that comes soon, this could all be over relatively quickly. But even if it doesn't, we still have options.
The most important thing, and the BEST thing about our situation right now, is that in a little over 24 hours, I will be on my way to the airport, and shortly after that I will be on a plane to Mexico City!!
Yes, I will FINALLY get to be reunited with my love!! After all this time....Almost a whole year apart from each other, we will finally get to be together again. FOR REAL.
I absolutely cannot wait. I haven't been this excited for something since I was like 8 years old and still believed in Santa Claus. I honestly feel like a little girl; every time someone asks if I'm ready for my trip, or am I excited? I jump up and down a little and kind of let out a little squeal. It's a little weird to be honest, but I can't help it! :-D I'm kind of bummed that I'm only going for a few days this time, but at this point I'll take whatever I can get. And we're also going to plan my next trip, most likely sometime in September, and for 2-3 weeks that time. I cannot WAIT!!
So yeah, there's definitely a silver lining. David is free, and he'd much rather be free in Mexico than be locked up in that prison for one more day. He's living in his parents' house down there, making repairs, cleaning it up, and getting it lived in. He has a bit of family nearby so he's always visiting with people. He applied for a bilingual customer service and sales position with AT&T down there, had two interviews....and we just found out today that he was hired! And of course I'm coming down this week...so things are good. Or as good as we could hope for them to be at this point.
The future may still be uncertain, but I'm faithful that God has a plan. This is making us stronger in the long run. And it is a true test of our relationship and future marriage; if we can get through this? I'm convinced we can get through ANYTHING.
But for now, I'm just counting down the hours until I am no longer separated from the man I love with all my heart.
