My wife and son arrive tomorrow
All the planning, all the heartache, all the stress and finally tomorrow my beautiful wife and baby son will be with me again. They got their visas stamped in their passports yesterday and tomorrow they arrive at Pudong airport, Shanghai at 15.50 (07.50am UK time) where I will be waiting with the biggest smile ever on my face.
It has been the culmination of determination, luck and someone looking down at us that has led to this day. I specifically left the UK behind me to find a new life in Asia so I could be closer to my home and family in Phils. So far life here in China has been great, the place, the work and culture (plus the money) and now I have my apartment, a longer contract, I am settled and able to bring my family here to stay with me.
I have not kissed or held my wife for 6 months, I have not cuddled or played with my little son for 6 months, so tomorrow is going to be just so great for us. And what a brilliant birthday present too, on the 17th and 18th November respectively, it is my birthday my son Vincent's birthday (my wife missed the target date) So all set for a wonderful time.
First things we will do after we get back to the apartment tomorrow is go directly shopping (ok, maybe not the very first thing). It is pretty cold here right now and set to get colder still very soon. Charie has never experienced cold yet, so I am looking forward to seeing her shiver
so off to buy some warm clothes for both her and Vincent. Then off to Carrefour and Ikea to stock up on some food and things for the apartment, ( I only have one cup and spoon and a kettle)
Anyway, I will take some photos and post as soon as I can, I just wanted to share my exciting news with you all.
(Also brought my 2 step-kids over to HK).
