Our Very First Meeting

We've been waiting patiently for 10 months and then we realized- if we want it we need to make it happen. SO WE DID!

---

After the pandemic changed our original plan of meeting in May 2020 we've been waiting patiently to see each other. We wanted Trey to come stay with me in Israel for as long as possible so he can see where I grew up, learn more about my culture, and get to know a new place. Unfortunately, the government in Israel decided not to allow people who are not citizens to enter the country. Just like the Israeli government had rules about entering the country – so does the States. They stopped the visas requests process and are not excepting new applications at the moment. In the first few months we accepted it and waited. We enjoyed our time together on video calls while dreaming about how it'll be to finally be in each other's arms. After 10 months it started getting a little too frustrating for me. I wanted to be with him so bad. I started getting sad out of nowhere and It's very unlike me to feel this way. One week it all got too much for me and I cried a lot. Trey asked me "What would make you truly happy right now?" and I answered "Being with you". So we decided to make it happened. We looked for a country where we can meet. This wasn't easy at all considering the fact that it's a pandemic and we had to find a country that will accept people both from Israel and the States- two places with a lot of Covid cases. We decided to meet in Jamaica. It's a place that we both wanted to visit in the past, the process of getting an approval to travel there wasn't too complicated and it just seemed like the only possible option. We then started to look for the cheapest tickets we could find (we are trying to save money for when we can actually move in with each other). After we got the tickets the airlines made changes of the dates and times and we were over the phone for over 7(!!!) hours with the company we got tickets from just so we could get new tickets. I had to take time off from work which wasn't easy and put a lot of stress on me until the very last day before my flight. I had to get an approval to have a layover in Canada. We both had to get an approval to travel in Jamaica. We had to take the Covid tests and be negative. Every step of the journey could've failed us but eventually, after a lot of stress (and excitement!), and a 17 hours layover in Canada for me, WE DID IT!!! We made it to Jamaica!

Trey got to the airport before me and had to wait for a little bit.

When I finally got there, I started looking for him with my eyes and suddenly heard him calling me from behind.

I turned around and once I landed my eyes on him I stopped breathing. I started walking towards him and then just stopped. I couldn’t move. He realized that and started walking towards me. I kept walking and then we just grabbed each other for the biggest, strongest, warmest hug you can imagine. I couldn't stop touching him all over his strong back and arms. All I could say was "I can't breathe". I was so excited. So happy. It didn't feel real, yet it felt like the realest thing that ever happened to me. When I was finally ready to let go of the hug we started our way to our Airbnb in Jamaica. We walked next to each other and I literally couldn't stop touching Trey.

It felt so natural. We were sitting in our taxi, my hand was squeezing his leg that was next to me, his arm was on my back, and we just enjoyed the views from the window and the conversation with our driver.

It felt so good just being together. We didn't even had to talk.

river dropped us off we went to find our place. Still- everything felt so natural and familiar. Like it wasn't the first time we were together. It was magical.

There, outside the placed we stayed in, we had our first kiss, that once again- felt so natural and familiar. Everything worked perfectly…
