Here it goes!



Well, guys, sorry haven't written in a while, but I have been finalising my trip to England. I leave Sunday, have an appointment with the doc on Monday and then we'll see what happens from there. He might keep me there for a few days, weeks or months! So, as u can probably feel with me, these few past days haven't been a piece of cake at all!




I'm scared, apprehensive, angry, sad, shivering,... everything! I am trying to take it step by step, but it's tough. Yesterday mom introduced me to Mr. Lexotanil !!! It kinda calmed my shaking body, but I don't know how far I can take it. I'm not one to pop pills right, left and centre, but yesterday, I needed it!




Cyba is coming to Beirut tonight so we can all go together tomoro (with wiss), and fadi is meeting us at Heathrow, then we all drive down together to Surrey. I wish I could at least look forward to seeing London. Maybe when i get there and talk to the doc and he tells us what exactly will be done, perhaps then I can relax and enjoy a little UK.




Ok, people, wish me luck. Hope all goes well and start praying.




love,


Hala

Beautiful beautiful photograph of a beautiful family. Good luck with everything. Hope the weather holds, it is lovely and sunny here in UK at the moment - not miserable at all. What will be will be, sweet woman. Just try hard not to panic. I wish we could absorb and take away some of your fears and worries, honey. Willing you to come through brilliantly.

I'll keep on praying for you dear Hala. God bless and keep you safe. I will also pray that the doctors use all their wisdom to cure you and that your trip is safe in every way. That your health is restored to you. I love the photo of you and your family. Hugs.

Have you already left to UK??!!
You left so so soon! I didn't have my computer for 4 days, as Jad went into Hospital (He's fine el hamdulilah) ..so I completely missed your leaving.
Alla yikoon Ma3ek, I hope you have a safe trip, what with Siba, Wiss and fadi by your side you'll be in great hands. MAheik?! We are all here praying for you .. make sure those UK Doctors take good care of you, and hopefully you'll also have time to update us all on your blog.
God keep you and and all your loved ones strong.

Dear Hala, I wish I have written this in different circumstances. I just come to know about your sickness yesterday when an e-mail dropped into my inbox and come to know what I know now.
It’s been a while since we last meet if you recall the day I saw you close to AUH I was just released from an eye operation & could hardly open my eyes to see you & you gave me your business card that I still have.Any way what I want you to know is that my prayers will go to you to overcome this ordeal.

Hala all I can say to you be strong, resilient, challenging, energetic, defiant, full of life, smiling, open, smart, optimistic & always laughing spontaneously loud. Guess what? If some one asked me how you best describe Hala these are the thoughts & images I have about you at a time our roads crossed at AUB good old days, I might have never told you this then but that’s how I perceived you & now I’m glad to share this with you. I loved your family adorable beautiful girls god bless them yesterday night before bed time I sat down with my 2 kids Karim 10 & Lana 5 went through your blogspot and I told them about you & the good old days at AUB they prayed for you and looking forward to see your ladies when visiting Lebanon & you better prepare some of those Mamoul they look yammy.

Hala I wish you the strength of all the elements & what happens happen for a reason & the best things happen when we least expect them, I wish you always air to breath, fire to warm you water to drink and the earth to live in I wish this to you from my heart you will prevail love life it will love you back may the power of the universe be with you regards to Wissam.

Hala, habibiti inte, you have a lovely lovely family, Mashaallah! Your girls have your smile :) I love your smile!! We will all pray for you my dear friend. The hurdle might look large and overwelming now, but you will make it through, I know you will. You are a strong and determined person, and if anyone can do it, its you. Don't get scared, because we are all here for you, praying for you and sharing with you. Give us that beautiful smile of yours and everything will be okay, love you,
