Okay, I have been having a REALLY BAD MONTH OF MAY!

#1 My hot water heater went out

$20.00 later, I have hot water again

#2 My laundry sink drain stopped draining

A few curse words and a busted knuckle, it drains again

#3 The load later, the floor drain has stopped draining

$80.00 later, it drains again

#4 The electrical socket shorted out, TO THE WASHER!

Just happened this morning, so it is still not fixed

AND THEN!

And then I called the NVC and they told me that our case had been received by them on May 10th and sent to Amman on May 14th.

Prena's Layth had a succesfull interview on May 10th!

My birthday is May 18th!

What a woderfull May this has been!!!

Henia,

I seem to always be apologizing for some silly comment I have made. Really, it was all about the laundry that I cannot seem to catch up with. All these plumbing problems seem to make it impossible for me to get anything done. There is far more to it than that, but I will not go into that.

I must say that I have read all of your postings and thought to myself that you must be a very strong and loving woman. You would have to be to cope with all of this in your life. The things we do for those that we love is beyond question or expectations. We don't do them for rewards, or self gratification, or to look good to other people. We do them because we can, because we want to, because we Love.

I pray for your husbands swift recovery, and for you to stay strong until the end of all your trials. InshaAllah, Tammy Al Theeb

Henia, I know you've had a horrible few months. I am so happy for you that your husband is slowly regaining his health.
