The day is finally here!
Deepak is getting on the flight today (Air Canada: Ottawa-Frankfurt-Almaty. Overnight in Almaty and then morning flight on Friday at 10am to Aktobe!)! So excited! He has been very busy here at home, trying to work with me and mom to finish up the beach that got partially washed out by the rains at our home, then making the flower beds with mom, shopping for plants with us and helping mom with the digging and planting of all the plants and shrubs. The past few hours have been spent assembling Ayaan's beautiful new Stokke stroller and the Britax Marathon car seat in our car. He has just finished putting mulch over the flower beds and has finally started to wind things down and prepare for his flight this evening at 7:30pm. We will drop him off at 5:30pm and pray that everything goes well and father and son are soon united. We wonder if Ayaan will remember him when he sees him in less than 2 days, and I have to say Im pretty positive, he will. :)
I have been watching Ayu's videos and pics daily and i cry sometimes cause I miss him so much and then I laugh at his cute antics and our own follies (trying to put him in the Beco carrier for example for hilarious).
The passport is on its way to Moscow FINALLY! And we hope and pray that this hurdle is crossed quickly and the ongoing almost 5 month long Canadian Embassy strike that's still going on, doesnt cause further delays.
Deepak will be meeting Koko & John mid way in Frankfurt and from there on, they will be all together till Aktobe, and then share an apartment in Aktobe, for convenience. As I am unable to go on this trip, I will wait patiently with Ayaan's grandmom (my mom) who has come all the way from Delhi, India just so that she can help us settle down with Ayaan and not get overwhelmed. With the Rupee touching 64 Rs per 1 Cdn$ I am very thankful that she has and my whole family is set to follow suit over the next 2 months, just to meet Ayaan, the newest member of the family.
I hope and pray that all those reading as we embark on this final phase of the process, will send in positive thoughts and pray hard that everything goes smoothly for us and Ayaan, our much loved adorable son, is home soon with us, safe and sound.
