Let fate decide!

I check the Facebook page of the American Dream on a regular basis and it kind of amazes me how serious this years lottery entrants are about winning the Greencard. I told you before that I only got it through my husband and that I never joined the lottery myself. It also was Flo’s first time as an entrant. When he received the winner notification, it totally took us by surprise, because we hadn’t talked or thought about the lottery for ages. To us it was fate that chose us to win. Had Flo won the Greencard only a year earlier, we now wouldn’t have the chance to make this dream come true together. And he actually doesn’t know, if he would have moved to the US alone!

I don’t want to destroy anyones dreams, but this whole thing isn’t just about winning. It is about changing your whole life! It is about pain, about loss and about having to start all over! You have to give up your whole life in Germany (or any other country you happen to live in), get a new job, a new home, new friends and so much more! When we won the Greencard we didn’t expect what we had to deal with after it! This whole Greencard process isn’t easy! I often wonder, if we are doing the right thing and it nearly breaks my heart when my family members and my friends tell me how afraid they are of letting me go some day.

I really wish everyone who wants to win a Greencard a lot of luck! But I hope that you all are aware of how much this will change your life! And that you know that winning a Greencard is not only a dream coming true, but a lot of struggle, work and sadness! So, let fate decide, if you are ready or not! And make the best of what happens – no matter if you win this year or not!
