Hi all,
I just wanted to share something with you guys on VJ community...something which has shaken me pretty much today. As I can't stop thinking about it, I thought it would be a good thing to post it here.
I work at Munich Airport for a big airline, and I happened to meet a sweet, young girl today. She was a passenger en route to the US. During the regular data registration at the gate it turned out that she was a citizen of an eastern European country, holding two visas in her passport, a B2 visa...and a canceled K1 visa, which had been issued just recently!
God knows that I am so glad now that I didn't say something stupid and didn't ask her about the canceled K1 visa, for she started to talk about the whole subject without me asking anything about it :
she started to cry silently and explained that her fiance had passed away and that she was now on her way to his funeral. She tried to stay calm, but she was crying, and all I could think of was how awfully sad that girl must be now. I felt like crying with her. I did my best to make sure that this girl would at least have a pleasant flight to the US...but how are you supposed to console somebody who has suffered the loss of a loved one -
and the dreams they had?
The reason why I wanted to share this with you guys on VJ community is that I want to set some kind of "in memoriam" for the girl's fiance.
We don't know anything about him or her, we don't know anything about their story or how they met, or what happened to him...but we know that they were two people in love and that they wanted to share their lives together.
They were going through the exhausting process of getting a K1 visa for her and they had come so far...and they had dreams of a shared future, maybe they were VJ-members, too.
I'd like to think that her fiance is in a place now where he can see what's going on on this planet...and I'd like him to see that he was not just a little number among billions of others. I'd like him to know that by posting his and his girl's story on this board, it will reach many other people. People who have similar dreams like they had, and he'll see that many strangers feel with them.
I am glad for them that they had found each other and that they could spend together at least the time they were given.
My thoughts will be with that sad, pretty, young thing, who's on a flight to the US right now. I hope that someday her life will be filled with laughter and joy, again.

Full Version: a woman I met today
Oh, how truly sad. I will say a prayer today for the "unknown journeyers."
I hope she finds comfort in his family and friends.
I hope she finds comfort in his family and friends.
I too will say a prayer for them. 
That's a sad story. My heart goes out to them. I will keep them in my prayers
It is a times like this that you realize just how lucky you are and count your blessings, it puts into perspective the very minor irritations we all suffer getting out visas.
I shall add them both to my prayers
I shall add them both to my prayers
poor girl she must be gutted...i got a teary just reading about it. nice of you to remind us all to be thankful for what we have no matter how long the journey.
As sad as the story is thank you for posting it. It is a reminder that life is fragile and we should cherish every moment.
We will say a prayer for them

A prayer for them and much strength to the girl. I hope she finds love and happiness again.
I too pray that this girl will find strength and solace to face the times just ahead of her and that she again finds love later on.
Life is very fragile 
After reading your post, I am sitting here waiting for my sweetie to come home from work and we will have dinner together.... something we take for granted..... but shouldn't.
My heart goes out to that young girl. I hope she can heal in time.

HOW SAD FOR THAT POOR GIRL... LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO TAKE FOR GRANTED. MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO HER AND HER LOVED ONE.
Very sad.
My heart goes out for the girl. It must be very difficult for her with this tragedy in her life. I will pray for her and her lost loved one.
Oh, the poor girl! How sad for her to find the one she loves and lose him too soon! And how kind of you to post her story here so we can send her our prayers.
Hmmm, she's from an eastern European country and she got a B2 VISA, after getting a K1? Sounds a little fishy to me. 
May God be with her during this diffucult moment of her life. My heart really got sad as I read this post.

Oh my goodness....I cannot even BEGIN to imagine how that poor girl must be feeling, my heart goes out to her.

A US Embassy will issue visa (and expedite it too) for humanitarian reasons.
Awww soo sad.... I wish the girl all the best, may she get over this soon, and that another window will open for her somewhere.....
my pray for her and her lost loved one
pray for her and her lost loved one

And you always think it can't happen to you. Sometimes I worry not being there with my fiancé and that something may happen to him and I'm not there. Maybe is stupid to think that way but I guess when you love somebody it’s unavoidable. I hope she’ll be ok with the time and that she'll find her happiness in life.
Btw. I noticed a Croatian flag in your signature, what does it mean?
Your post really touched my heart. I will say a prayer for her
True Love Lost
The moonless night cupped me in its hands Without a star and only the light post to keep me company My thoughts are with you. With silence around me and only my footsteps for company My thoughts are with you. As the cool winter breeze caresses my face My thoughts are with you. As tears well up in my eyes my thoughts are with you. My Love why did you leave me? Your body stayed but your soul went to heaven. With love in my heart I think of you.

So, you think that no one from Eastern Europe is able to get a visa to the great United States of America under any circumstances? Well, you're WRONG.
It is a lot easier to get a visa than some people portray it to be.
how very very sad
Don't feed the troll. 
This is indeed a sad story and makes me feel blessed I get to have lunch with my husband everyday.

im glad i have my SO...i love him so much
Wow, What a sad situation. I really feel bad for her, and I she will be in my prayers. I hope this inspires other members of this site to live life like they can die tomorrow, and to tell the special person in their life they love them, no matter if they are close or divided by oceans.
It's hard to even try and find the words to say, after reading something like this.
That poor young lady and the heartache she must be feeling. She will be in my prayers along with her loved ones family.
This is a very long, stressful and emotional journey and for it to end like that for her. So very sad and heartbreaking to hear.
Prayers help so much in times like this ........
