And I got it!!! Said is home and safely tucked in bed recovering from almost 24 hours of travel. He flew Casa to Frankfurt to DC to NOLA. The flight was delayed 1 1/2 hrs from Frankfurt to DC. I was really worried he would miss his connection as he only had 2 hrs 15 min originally to make the New Orleans flight. Thanks to some help from my SIL who made a call to someone in Dulles, we had an immigration officer waiting to escort him thru and everything was very quick and smooth and he made his flight even tho he only had *45 min* from landing, thru immigration, and take off to NOLA! It was a Christmas miracle I think... Anyhoo, he's here and life is good. More later..... g'nite all, and Happy Holidays to everyone. :luv:

I'm so happy to hear that your honey is with you at home now. :)

Insha'Allah you'll have a wonderful life together full of happiness, joy and love.

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5
