Hi, I'm the one that messaged you about my caravan! Just caught up with your video and I'm so sorry about all the visa stuff. I'd definitely be stressed by it. Thanks again for your message and if I can help in the future, let me know!
I know people in somewhat similar circumstances. They're just not leaving the country for any reason while they wait.
Cindy, I have to say that I wouldn’t have guessed that you worry a lot based on your videos. You seem so easy going. I worry too, but I’m trying to not let my mind do that all the time. It sure is hard though. I hope it all goes well for you and that you get the visa ASAP so you can meet your grandson. ❤😊
Sending positive thoughts to you Cindy and the universe to fix your residency issue! I never would have thought you were a worrier. A warrior though!!! Enjoy your visit with your South African family. Hope the muffins are good for your niece. Take care and you are in my thoughts!
cindy u need to find a portuguese boyfriend and marry him,problem solved…lol 🙂
You're right, only He can get you out of this one….. Our prayers are with you🙏
You caused your own problem. Find out what documents needed DA. 🤬🤬🤬😂😂😂
Omg Cindy 🥺(I am a worrier too, it can be sooo debilitating 😞 ) what a nightmare 4 you – 🙏🏽 🙏🏽 all goes well this time my lovely 🤗 aww your fur babies – thank goodness for your friends and neighbours. I’m sure your family are delighted to see you too 🤗those muffins looked scrumptious, liked the 🐷 Tshirt 🤣🤣🤣
Our Cindy, my thoughts and prayers are with you on this situation. I have faith that all will work out for you. Hang in there. XOX
Yikes! I watched with horror last spring when you couldn't get back home to Portugal, and now you have to deal with the visa mess all over again, I'm so sorry! I so admire your adventurous spirit and can-do attitude. I'm in awe of the traveling you've done in your life and with your career, I've never been off the American continent and would love to travel more. Prayers to you that you can finally get the visa and certification that will allow you to freely travel for work and family. The baby is so precious, and the pigs are growing up so fast. Hang in there!
Surely this will eventually work out. Just keep at them. Bureaucracy is not terribly efficient. Good luck! 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Good morning, Cindy. I did pray for you and I will continue. So senseless all this red tape. Hang in there. ♥🙏🍷
🤞🤞🌟👏👍🍀🍀💐
♥️💝💕
Wishing you the absolute best! We worriers never learn things work out the way they were meant to be! In the meantime enjoy your family, sending prayers and positive energy for a speedy resolution!
Good afternoon Cindy, sorry that you are having some issues
with the Portuguese embassy about your permanent residency.
They should be clear and concise about what the requirements are,
instead of causing people to worry and stress about it, I have admiration for your tenacity
I have said it before, but the last thing you need is to stress about this,
you have enough on your plate already! Keeping you in my prayers❤
🙏🤞
Hallo Cindy! Please check out Ken D. Berry MD and also Sally K. Norton.

Oh my Cindy they are making you jump through hoops indeed … but you are an old hand at this activity … so I’d say you are a warrior my girl … you WILL succeed … and a wee while down the line this will be a story for the campfire !
🙏☘️😘
Hello Cindy! Gosh woman…I can so relate to the running around the officials are giving you! Happened to me as a German in the USA…its hell! One doesnt know what the other is teling you and all sorts of different informations they give you! All you can do is wait it out…or take a lawyer! One thing I didnt understand-if its all to see your grandson, why your son and family can visit you in Portugal? ince it is such a huge hassle for you!! Even the cost of the flights would be better than all this you are going through!! However I hope and pray you win his mess!! God bless you and give you strength!! Hugs
Ah Cindy that’s so tough for you. Hope you do get back to your farm soon. Take care of yourself.
OMG. What an odyssey through the depths of bureaucracy! May god, the universe, and whoever else is involved in this make it turn out all well in the end. My thoughts are with you.
Cindy desejo do fundo do meu coração💓 que consigas resolver o teu visa ..🤞🤞🤞.
Sounds like you are like me Cindy. You want to be in control and when it is not possible the stress goes through the roof. Praying for a quick resolve.🙏
Hey Cindy! Gosh, all the best for this stressful time. I hope all works out in your favour and that this is sorted once and for all for you 🙂 In the meantime enjoy summer in Cape Town – as much as you can – and safe flight to meet the grandson! See you when you're back Portugal side! x
You are in my prayers. Cindy I am so sorry you are going through this.
Thanks for your vid Cindy 😇💟💟💟 Love you all.
Wow what an adventure you have had Cindy. Praying everything will work out. You really deserve it.
Ciiiiindy, it makes financial and emotional sense to pay for your son and wife and grandson, to come to Portugal to visit you, instead of having to travel here and there and waisting so much energy worrying. I am a worrier and as one I understand how worrying is really out of your hands, all you can do is deal with it the best you can. So STAY in Portugal and have your nearest and dearest come visit you for the next 2 years or so. Once all is sorted out, then you can go globe trotting.
Enjoy Cape Town. Wish I could be there.
Hi Cindy. I don't tolerate cane sugar and make cookies with similar ingredients with those you were using, except I'm not fond of the taste of coconut sugar and much prefer date sugar. Can you get that in SA? It's readily available here in France and is a game changer for me. It may not be the right solution for your niece, however, since it's still sugar…
Got everything crossed for you, Cindy, i do hope it all gets sorted out quickly. 🫰🫰
Hello, Cindy. I worry a lot too about everything, and now I am anxious for you. I follow several YouTubers but there is a special place in my heart for you. It is one of those things one cannot explain. I feel your pains. It is as if I have known you for a long time. I always refer to you as :my friend Cindy, when talking about you with my husband. I tell him about your adventures at your farm. Just imagine I who even did not want to have a mobile phone am hooked with what's App, youtube, etc. My husband does not care about it at all. He is more a computer man, e-mails, Facebook, that kind of stuff.
Now, back to your visa problem. If it depended on me I would give Portuguese visas to anyone who loves my country and wants to live here and make it a better place. But since I cannot do anything on that department I can only pray that you can get that visa as soon as possible and that you can hold your beautiful grandson in your arms some time soon. Yours Filipa.
Lovely Muffins ,crazy the steps you have to take with modern Children's intolerance and allergies and food .My Sisters Children have the same issues and yet me and my Sister and all my many Cousins have no intolerance issues ,only their Children .
I am a big fan of Robert Kennedy Jr and his Children's Defence League and his research points to why Children have all these problems.
Something changed between our generation and our Children .
You watched ok portugal? Ken got his card it took weeks to come, the sooner you start the sooner you get it.
Oh Cindy. It must be so stressful for you 😪 I know when I drove back through France they wouldn’t take my paper residency and stamped my passport 🤦♀️ but I will have my card soon as my appointment is in three weeks for my biometric card. I will stop worrying then 😩
I’m also a warrior just like you Cindy, you’re in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻❤️
