Tomorrow it’s time for me to fly back to Sweden. I’ve been here for 9 weeks this time and it feels so hard going back. I feel shitty about it. I just want to cry. I know I’ll be back, but not when, and I think that also makes it hard. **Montfort** and I finally finished every paper that has to be done for me to get the VISA that alloweds us to get marryed here. And they also wanted pictures of us, no nude ones luckily.😉 I’m affraid this will take several of months before I can come back again with the VISA I need. And hopefully there will not be any trubbel from them. So cross your fingers folks and hope every thing goes smoth and fast. Finally if I haven’t said it before, thanks to everyone for making this place, because without it I don’t think I would have meet the man I love so much, **Montfort** 🙂 ---

Just think of how wonderful those 9 weeks were, Anniz! And think of how wonderful your future will be! Love is worth the wait, if you ask me. Hang in there, you’ll make it. And for the record, I’d like to say I love your posting style. I know English isn’t your first language, but that doesn’t take away from how careful each word seems to have been picked out. Cheers! ---

Tack = thanks **Munch** , I know you’re right, but I’m just such an impatient person, hate this wait and not nowing how long it will be. And also thanks for liking my writing style, you made me smile.🙂 ---

I just got back from the post office, where I mailed the application form for the visa that will let **Anniz** back into the country to get married. I’m excited, and a little upset, too, since I know I’m now at the mercy of the U.S. government to know when I can next see my lovely bride-to-be. These last nine weeks have been incredible, and I’m glad I’ve spent them with her. She’s special. And, most importantly, she’s mine. I’m letting Sweden borrow her, temporarily, but I’ll be reclaiming her this summer for good. ---

If the Americans give you any grief, I’ll write my damn congressmen. ---

**Anniz** , Sorry to hear that you’re going back to Sweden, but the important thing is that you’re eventually going to come back, and you’re in a happy relationship. I am sure things will go smoothly, and you’ll be back soon. Best wishes always to you and **Montfort**. And I say that being more than a little envious of two people who are obviously so happy! ---

Anniz, Sorry you’re having to leave these shores for awhile, but everything will work out fine, and you and Michael will soon be reunited. And meanwhile, try to enjoy your ‘høliday’ in Sweden this yër. See the løveli lakes, the wøndërful telephøne system, and the mani interesting furry animals, including the majestic møøse. 😃 OK, so you’ve already been there, done that. What the hey, do it again, it’ll make the time pass faster. Hope you’re back here soon! ---

Oh Anniz, I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better, but I can’t. It is summer over here now, so at least you won’t come home to a dreary Swedish spring. Things will work out for the best for the two of you. I know it. You see, I’ve put a spell on the INS for you :D. Stora kramar, Soda ---

Hey, good luck with the Visa, keep us posted on your progess. I understand how difficult and frustrating it can be to have your future tied up in some governmental agency. You feel like you have no control and you can’t plan anything past the next few months. I’m in a similar situation. I sympathise. I’ll be sending you lots of positive energy!!! Chin up. ---

Everything went smooth at the airport yesterday. Her flight left on time at 5.45pm and got in at Stockholm at 7.45am this morning, Sweden time. She called me at 3.00am EDT to let me know this. She’ll be back, I know. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. 🙂 ---
