my lovely journal with banrock wine
finally we can nearly see the end of this *gay* visa road. actually i have been working on this for a couple of months collecting lots of information from a variety of sources. perhaps tim didn't imagine that this would be such a stressful task, as it sometimes requires a lot more patience than he expected. patience towards his boyfriend and this process. i understand that, cos he has never thought about the right to remain in another country and how to get it. however he's worked so hard and made a lot of effort. i really appreciate that. i felt his love through this preparation, as i always do and we cant forget all the amazing support from his family and our friends. they devoted time and effort for us. they are soooo kind and sweet. im such a lucky person to be surrounded by such great people in this country. i dont know how to express my sincerity and so many thanks to them here, but cant help saying a simple but big thank to you all. i promise to repay you someday, in some way. when i felt too stressed out and needed to cure myself in a positive way, rather than by alcohol, harri (tim's nephew) was the best person to be with. his pure nature would get rid of my stress and allow me to forget any negative thoughts i had. sometimes tim's positive nature annoyed me. sorry babe, but i took that as selfish. however talking to his mum was an amazing medication for me. i grumbled about tim to her and she just listened to me and gave me heaps of advice and compassion. she loves him unconditionally but my complaints against him was not offensive to her at all. she knows tim much better than me, for sure, and she accepts his positive and negative traits. therefore she understands my negative feelings, i guess. i have never called her by her name, but alway call her mum. hope she doesn't mind it. his dad always shows his love to tim which makes me feel very warm, and he treats me as his beautiful son's partner. i wanna call him dad, i do sometimes, but still hesitate as i am unsure whether he is happy with that. it may sound stupid, but his affection and love for his family seems quite strong, so even if he loves me so much as a kinda son-in-law, he might not be comfortable if i call him "dad". you know what i mean? anyway, i feel his family is like my own family now. they are so beautiful. very cool. thank you so much for your help and support, and big meals with alcohol!!!! i (almost) cried when i read your stat dec. well well well, tim. there is nothing to add here. i've fallen head over heels in love with you. u know that. u r the best, coolest, and most difficult partner to be with. I LOVE THAT!!! u rock my world!!! we have lots of arguments that let you down badly, but u know what, i have never had any arguments with someone who i dont care about. we r both leo and tiger, right? i believe we are still well-balanced as a couple. im quite sure we can do anything together, and at the same time i know we r gonna have more arguments in the future and say "i cant stand it. we should break up!", but once we become calm, we will know the answer. we know that. love you.
