My mom will be here in June

Did you hear that? She'll visit us for the first time in 6 years. Not that she didn't want to come earlier, but she was denied visa by the US Embassy 3 times (on one occasion I was in hospital (bed rest) for 10 weeks and naturally, she wanted to come and see her daughter. "No no". Consular officer says. "You're a potential immigrant". Well, she wasn't a potential immigrant at that time, cause she had no intention of moving to the US, she wanted to come, see where we live, and go home after a month or two.

Now she is. Since I'm a US citizen, I filed a petition for her and she'll be getting her green card next month (interview in May). She'll come and live with us, and help with Ana, so I can finally go and get a job (yeah, wish me luck with that, with the season being over in South Florida). I really look forward to her coming here.
