Yesterday I was granted Cayman Status after 17 years and 21 days on the island. This is my final immigration hurdle and I am now (on paper) the same citizen as someone who was born here.
I came here on vacation in July of 1996, on Feb 4th 1997 I started living here, with every intention of staying as long as they’d have me.
Hopefully now that will be as long as I live. There’s no place I want to go and no place I’d rather be than here.
I’m proud and honored and humbled.
