Well, today is a little brighter than yesterday. Though it sort of didn’t feel like it started out that way when I spoke with my Mom on the phone and was in uncontrollable tears.
I made it to my 1st Contact orientation and got all the info I need for Banking and all that. It was extremely helpful, and once I have a permanent residency I can open my bank account.
Also today while killing time at an internet cafe I met a girl who was in a similar position as to myself. We’re meeting up later for coffee or whatever. It makes me feel better to have met someone. Though we live at opposite ends of London at the moment, it’s still nice to know I’ve met a potential friend and buddy.
Though I am still pining for HOME in a major way, and still could burst into tears for no apparent reason, today’s a better day.
Just as a child learn to walk by taking little steps, falling a lot, relying on sturdy furniture for support, more falling, sometimes flat on the face….you will also learn that the initial days are hard, but over time it gets easier and you will not only walk but run!
You can carry your family and the rest of us in your thoughts, coz we’re thinking of you!
Take care always and know that you can also reach up to find God’s hand ready to help you.
