Seven Longest Days
Friday, June 19, 2009
I can’t wait for that day to come. From today, my countdown begins. Seven longest days, before I am again with my wife. It was November 13, 2008 the last time I was with her when she sees me to the airport on my departure back to Doha, that was 218 days ago. Seven days from now, I am back to her embrace. Seven Longest Days…
What’s makes it more special this time is that she will be joining me in my return to Doha after my short break. Oh my… no wonder why the days keeps dragging and I feel that it seems it is in a standstill. Seven Longest Days, is just what I have to countdown but I wish I can just push the “next” button and there you are its Friday again.
After almost 2 years of persuasion and endless phone calls, video calls, chats whatever means the present technology can offer, she said YES… Nuh!!! Not that big “Will you marry me?” question like Mar Roxas recently did. But more than that, my wife said YES, she will be joining here in Doha.
The plan now is that she will be joining me in my return under a visit visa. Once she is here in Doha, we will be processing her Resident Permit (RP). Inshallah, as the locals says, she will have her RP and I can have my wife.
Frankly, it is so important for me for her to be with me. We’ve been married for eighteen (18) long years, but we’ve been away from each other most of the time. Maybe this time, I hope I can make-up for the lost time. She has her own sacrifices for our family that I am forever thankful. It would be much more meaningful to express my gratitude when she is by my side. If only I have means to let her live like a princess, I will be grateful to be her servant.

For now, I will still be counting down from seven. Seven Longest Days is just what I have to burn away.
