Mark this day

We waited for the interview, joking in the lobby, laughing at the stupid things we laugh about, not nervous about the interview, for we had nothing to hide. We took an oath to tell the truth, answered the questions, and were floored when he said,

"Be the power vested in me, I now pronounce you a permanent resident of the United States of America."

Though your residency is now permanent, baby, you are still my little alien.

Te amo.
