Happy Wednesday!

Another week half way gone and still waiting.

Im sooooo tired of waiting to and knowing nothing is happening because of the holidays makes it even harder

It's actually a relief to me that the embassy is closed now since I don't have to have that feeling of disappointment each day since I don't expect anything, you know what I mean? It's like we get a nice little vacation from the daily let down that happens each time we don't get "the call".

Our 1st year anniversary is Dec 28 and although it would be nice to hear something at all by then I sincerely doubt it will happen. To be honest I"m starting to not be able to visualize him here at all. Maybe when I finally lose all hope it will happen. Who knows. I give up. Wavin' the white flag.

Sometimes it does feel like just a dream and that he will never be here but the hope is always there. Not quite sure if I can look at it as a vacation but I will give it a try Doods. :-)

All good in NY.

Jamal actually took an Amtrak all by himself to visit a friend in Philadelphia to celebrate Eid - I am so proud of him and I know that he will have a good time and I will have some quiet time to myself - I guess everybody wins at least in my household LOL

Also, I just want to say thank you to the MENA community for being there for me when I need you guys the most.

Love always,

D.

Oh, c'mon, B. Don't feel like you wanna give up......Press IN ! Encourage yourself if no one else will. You have more fight in ya than you think you have. It's gonna be alright. Now change your thoughts into visualizing him here, get it into your head, line it up with your heart and soon it will flow out of your mouth....he is coming!

I'm just tired ya know? I don't even want to think about it anymore. I cringe when I think of Christmas and the inevitable, "he isn't here YET?????", blah blah blah. I seriously give up. I've done what I can do. My senator and congressman have both sent emails and letters and haven't heard back and I get the same canned response.

No home visits have occurred whatsoever and even if they do one it'll be pointless since he doesn't have any parents to be asking questions to. He's passed the security checks at DOS and there's nothing I can do but watch it collect dust on a desk somewhere in Cairo. Our future is just on permanent hold for now so I have no choice but to keep on keepin' on like I never met him.

omg that camel is toooo funny!!!

Leaving Saturday for Missouri and we have nothing packed yet. Apparently it is going to be snowing as we are traveling so I hope the other drivers are going to be as careful as I will try to be. I surely don't wanna end up in a wreck on a 750mile/15 hour drive. YUCK!!! I guess I'll try to pack everything tonight or tomorrow and hope for the best..uggggg

Jackie, I hope the kitty feels better soon!

Have a great day all

I know. But ! Fight, girl! Fight and fight and never give up to those dummies. Press on towards your prize. Look how far you have come. Farther than far. It's almost over. Yup, you can do it.

Dont look at the situation the way the world sees it. Look beyond that. Hold on to your faith, and if that is wavering, ask for an increase and BELIEVE YOU WILL RECEIVE.

Many here also suffer with you as far as Christmas' spent alone, anniversaries that come and go and yet we find it within our souls to keep going. We are blessed ! We are still here, and we are still fighting. Please be encouraged.
