@ Pearson................

Yes!, thanks to Moe my brother (1 of 4).......i made it to Pearson. Thanks again and i love you, your an awesome brother too! What a ride that was, the nerve of that person, Way to go ! i don't think they'll do that to anyone again. (Su ask Moe!!).......don't mess with Moe or he'll break your toe!!

I managed to find a Tim Horton's, it was difficult at first, yes there were maps but I wasn't in the mood......and anyhow there was a police officer in front of the map.......so I asked him..........he was kind....he said "it's down the escalator, under my office".
So I got my last large coffee: double cream and one sweetener..... until God know's when.........the harder part was finding a chair to sit.....phew......it's getting real busy in here and the humidity.......uh, oh.
I checked in and unfortunately my request for a window seat was declined but i got lucky with an 'aisle' seat........oh goodie, don't have to ask anyone to move to get up, but i'll get asked to do so!!!
I haven't entered the gate to the boarding area of my plane yet................i always like to scan to see amongst whom i will be enclosed in a flying dynamic aircraft...........for 12 and a half hours!!!

While having breakfast this morning with my boys, my younger one, Khalil decided to tell me a story.
He stated "Momma did you hear on the news about the plane, the one that it's roof went flying off", I held my composure, but inside I was why on earth he would be bringing up something like that on my departure date.............I thought OMG. What bugged me was that he appeared serious. I said "no such thing has happened", he then continued to ask "what happens if the plane crashes in the ocean and you swallow salt water"..............Dear God I said to myself. I understand that alot goes thru one's head when there is travel on the horizon but...........Avril Lavigne's song-'what the hell' started playing in my head!!! I told him I loved him and informed him that ......while we are all going thru this life one never knows what will transpire as anything can happen and you just deal with any situation whenever it may arise, but do your best to always think of the positive AND learn. I love my boys and I'm so proud of them.  I do my best to give them endless hugs and kisses ( with red lipstick on to leave a mark!) And to be fair to Khalil, my other brother Abu Abdullah was over yesterday and I told him that I know he's busy and didn't have to come, he said "of course I do, your my sister, i love you and what happens if (well u get the picture--another Khalil story)........GULP !!!!

This coffee is wonderful, or is it the fact that I know it will be my last Tim's for awhile! There is a Starbuck's here too..................but I'm so TIM HORTON'S, eh!! I have to admit i've been to many airports all over the world and Dubai's old one is the best......they got the palm trees!!

This will be my 3rd trip to Dubai..........I'm so blessed! I've been running around to stores getting my last minute stuff and when the store associates ask where i'm going and I reply Dubai.................i usually get "u going to do the shopping".................I say "no, I'm going to see my amazing sister and the added bonus is SUN".

I was supposed to go back in February but I kept declining..................I guess it wasn't my time and since then so many wonderful things in my life have happened, especially with my boys and I.

The past 3 years have been particularily hell for me, my friends and family are aware of what I have entailed and have supported me so profoundly and for that I'm forever great.

I'm at peace and I haven't felt this way in a long time.

I thank you and Love you all.

It's the right time now! :)


P.S---I'm @ boarding gate..........oh look another Tim's.....therefore another coffee......My order: Lg. Decaf 2 cr 1sw and a sour cream glazed timbit. What I got: Lg Decaf 2 cr NO sw and a plain timbit. I'm sure I said my order in english!
