An awesome journey

Months ago, I had this feeling of emptiness.  I can't define what is bothering me but I felt lonely somehow.  It troubled me for quite a while.  As days passed by, I am trying to identify where its coming from.  A friend asked me, if I have problems within the family, I can't think of anything.  I am happy when we are together but when I am alone, I am sure something is not right.  I prayed so hard for the Lord's guidance.

One day after a meeting with my boss I told him about how i feel, knowing me for 7 years now, he told me I have to go to the US and visit my Mom.  She is really ill.  Having dialysis 3 times a week is not easy.  But the Doctors said, it is prolonging her life.  I just smiled and said,  "Not on my plans but I have to apply for a visa."  So I did and luckily I was granted a 10 year multiple visa by the US Embassy.  After my sister learned about my visa, she booked for a flight immediately and before I knew it I am on a plane to Shanghai then to Los Angeles, California.  That was June 9, 2014.

I could vividly remember while waiting for my brother to pick me up at the airport, I looked around and told myself..."Am I really here?"  "Am I really stepping on the United States of America soil?"  Feeling the cool breeze touched my skin I murmured..."I am one lucky soul!"
