"My Life Beyond My Family's Immigration Jouney"

It has been a while since my last post. A lot has been happening in the past seven months. After my brother got his permanent residency on April, my Mom went to the Philippines three months after. But before her flight, we visited Chicago with my brother and my husband and spent two days there. Mom went home on July 18th for a "vacation". Her flight back to the US was supposed be on January 2015, but an unfortunate event in our family when Mom went to her creator on my brother's birthday, a day that my family will never forget, a day that changed my family's lives forever.  On the night of December 7, 2015 (US Time), my Mom had a seizure in our house in the Philippines. My sisters brought her to the hospital but Mom was unconscious and was on semi-coma for couple hours. On the morning of December 8 (US Time) we heard the bad news that Mom did not make it after doctors had done everything they could to revived her. The feeling that I felt that day and until now is unexplainable where I do not wish for everyone to experienced in their lifetime. Three days after, me and my brother flew to the Philippines and spent a whole month spending time with family and relatives.

To keep my Mama's memory alive, I will keep this blog updated. I will be writing all the dreams I had ( that I've been writing on my phone notes) and I'm having as we (my family) continue to live my  day to day lives. As I believed, that my Mom's lives continue to live in our dreams. So, anyone who happen to read my post please bear with me as this will be my grief journal from now on as I recover in the after loss. At the same time, I will also be writing immigration related topics that relates my brother and my sisters visa application.
