The worst feeling in the world...
So I am not sure if we are going to end up at that bar tonight or not, much as I was looking forward to it... ready to enjoy a show-free Thursday for a change.
The Fiancé has been rather down today... homesickness, and his parents' inability to join him for our graduation in 2 weeks - God bless America and their visa regulations for regular Mexican folk who merely want to come to their son's graduation and maybe spend a week in the country. Sure they could make it here - at best in three months, cause that's as long as it takes for the US officials to assure themselves that this nice, hardworking, harmless Mexican couple will duly make it back again south of the border after their little vacation.
I can really understand why he is so upset... but at the same time I also want him to enjoy our graduation for what it is, when the day comes. I am not sure how or if I can help him to do that, but even though his parents won't be able to share this day with him, I want him to remember it as a nice one, surrounded by his best friends, his extended family... and his new family: his future wife, future parents-in-law, and future sister-in-law.
I almost feel guilty that my entire family is able to make it to my graduation all the way from Europe, when his cannot even cross the border from the neighboring country. I know nobody and nothing can replace the proud smile of a parent. It breaks my heart, but the only thing I can really do is to show him that he is welcomed and a part of my family now... meager of an attempt it may be. It's all I can offer... and of course to be there for him while he is feeling so bad these days. And I don't think clubbing with gay folk is what's on his mind right now.
My poor love. :(

Congratulations on your graduations.
That is absolutely awful that his parents aren't being allowed to come. This country pisses me off more and more by the day, and I thought I had already reached my limit.
