This is a HIPER THUMBS UP for Ron/Sharon.
You folks have been through the ringer with your process, and throughout you have shown nothing but support to others; honest joy for those who succeed, and willingness to help the ones still going through it (i.e. offering your phone). So Rooooooooon..... even if you are a humble man who doesn't take compliments, this one's on me - and whomever else would like to join me in celebrating having you around.
And DO NOT try to stop me (I'm sleepy but armed )
Thanks Ron, for everything.

Agreed, you two are definetely the most selfless people I have ever come across in my life, considering the troubles you have been going through with this process, and how much support you still manage to give to everyone else amidst all this.

I concur! When I think of you Ron, I think of the true ideal of what a Canadian is all about.

Bouquets to you and Sharon...for your kindness, generosity, and your endearing gifts you share with us.

I always find it amazing how he can put aside his own trials to offer words of encouragement for some one else. Kudos.

Here, here! *big hugs*

Ditto to what everyone has said. *hugs*

Lena, good thing you're almost 4000 Km away, I'm too old and too tired run from you.

Dammed it, you folks are going to make me cry again. Thank you each and everyone, and you Lena for the wonderful words and for thinking this way about us, we are only trying to do what we can and offer to others what is also available us, we are only trying to return what was, is now and will be given to us as our travels continue. For me the best way to heal and move forward is to help in a small way others to move forward also, you may not know this but each step you take brings us closer to the end of our own journey also.
I have prayed that Sharon and Alan / Pam and Réjean would get their visas before me because they waited for so long and they did thank god. I also prayed that other after me get their visas before I did and guess what god listened, we are have been put on hold and others are now getting dates that will have them soon get their visas and be with the loves of their lives. When you and others say we have our visa it fills my heart with more happiness than you can understand.

Sharon and I have trials to go through right now and when god decides for us to be a couple we will, everything has its time and its place we will patiently await our time and place and while doing so we will be here with heart felt congratulations, the odd push and shove and any other emotion that is stirred up in us by the posts we read.
This is not about Sharon and I but about the enter family here that has adopted each other and us helped us every step of the way.
