I’ve been trying to bring that permanent visa into my life, you know, so I can finally be with my daughter, it feels like we’re just waiting and waiting, and sometimes I catch myself thinking about all the little moments I’m missing, the ordinary days that would mean everything, and really it just comes down to this one piece of paper, doesn’t it, this thing that holds so much weight, and I keep telling myself it’s going to happen, because it has to, because she’s there and I’m here, and that’s just not how it’s supposed to be.
