Aloha 'Oe, Turkey

I don't recall having a week of more excitement, tears, joy and sorrow. But, change is good and imminent. 

Let me go back a bit. 

(We never intended for me to stay this long in Turkey and so we have been constantly trying to get back to the USA and so last year) The Long Rock and I have decided for me to back to USA and for us to work and live there. This is something that we both wanted all along and I have said over and over  I was only staying here for six weeks. 
Well , we had a long bumpy road to get us to where we are right now. 

We married. Check 
Now We are going... Half a check. 

See, right now it is not a "We are going" it is an "I am going". 

I do not know exactly when I am going to see my husband. I have to admit... That is hard. 
I do know, I need to go back because we don't have a sponsor and we need money for him to come. 
It is not that we are desperate. But, see, I have a husband that is really nervous about going to a country and both of us do not have a job. This is really worrisome. 
Then there is a safety issue here. 

Every week, many people are dying in Turkey in direct relation to the Syrian Civil War.
(It has been a war zone for quite sometime) 
Since August 1st of 2013, the  U.S. embassy and/or the U.S. Consulates have been closed here. This is making it extremely difficult for us to get anything done that we need to do in order to get him to USA. 
So
We have made the hard decision of me leaving Turkey and sending for him so that we can be together. 

I have been shedding a lot of tears, been happy to go home and really having a hard time leaving the love of my life. 

So, I will be spending my final hours (literally) cuddling on the couch with the love of my life

Husband will await my sending for him with great anticipation... 

Aloha Oe 

Hui:::
Aloha `oe, aloha `oe
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo
One fond embrace,
A ho`i a`e au
Until we meet again

Chorus:::
Farewell to you, farewell to you
The charming one who dwells in the shaded bowers
One fond embrace,
‘Ere I depart
Until we meet again
