'While we await a spouse petition to bring my husband to join us in the US, I am raising our son alone.'
. While other mothers have agreed that new parenting is difficult for most of us, not having my partner here means I can never say"it's your turn, honey" one of the bazillion times the baby wakes up and needs a bottle or comforting. It means I can't rest my head and receive affection in the way all new mothers deserve, confer with the other parent about difficult decisions, or celebrate milestones like the baby's first words or foods.
It's heartbreaking to know that my son won't have his Papa to help guide him for an unknown amount of time. Since Isagani was born, we've made three visits to Cuba to be a family. When Isagani was 9 weeks old, I brought him to Cuba for his father to meet him for the first time. Almost six months later, when we returned for Tito and I to get married, I realized he had missed the most intense moments of my life. Our son was 8 months old, aware enough to show delight at our reunion.
It doesn't get much easier, and in some ways has gotten more difficult. Now that we are married, we are deeply bonded, but my husband's absence feels bigger. This would normally be a"honeymoon" year for a newlywed couple, but we spend most of it trying to connect online. It's heartbreaking to know that my son won't have his Papa to help guide him for an unknown amount of time. Now that he is over a year old, he's a budding toddler.
