I know that things are awful in Iraq these days, but please remember that nothing lasts forever and nothing is constant but change. It may take awhile but things will change in Iraq. Meanwhile hang in there and enjoy your many cool presents, especially the mp3 player - I have an iPod myself and I LOVE IT :-) May Allah bless you and keep you safe from all harm.<BR/><BR/>Best Regards,<BR/>Mary EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536771.post-1150381003898556082006-06-15T18:16:00.000+04:002006-06-15T18:16:00.000+04:00My personal belief is that until there is cake and...My personal belief is that until there is cake and ice cream, you're birthday is not over and you're entitled to special treatment as the birthday girl until someone produces a cake! I've had this happen. Demand your birthday rights. Until someone sticks a candle in a cake, you're birthday is not over, and you don't have to do chores;)<BR/><BR/>And my birthday wish for you is that next year's birthday results in a party where everyone can come and stay late because there's no need for curfews.<BR/><BR/>I'd say "happy belated birthday wishes", but since there has been no cake, it's still your birthday. <BR/>So HAPPY BIRTHDAY HNK!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536771.post-1150195728435575182006-06-13T14:48:00.000+04:002006-06-13T14:48:00.000+04:00Hnk,It is written in a book I own, that there are ...Hnk,<BR/>It is written in a book I own, that there are 7 valleys a sincere seeker much go through on the way to finding what your heart truly desires:<BR/>The first is the valley of search. And the steed of this valley is patience.Without patience the traveler will reach no where and attain no goal.<BR/><BR/>So, I have read this small book many, many times, and often I think I am still in the valley of search ;-) That feels depressing because I am much older than you ;-) However there are no short cuts. If we can't be patient, we can't get out of the valley of search. But don't worry you will never be lonely in this valley, alot of humanity is stuck here too ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948341359264244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536771.post-1150192863400648442006-06-13T14:01:00.000+04:002006-06-13T14:01:00.000+04:00Hey HNK- let me just tell you this:as long as you ...Hey HNK- let me just tell you this:<BR/><BR/>as long as you stay in Iraq and keep shining their will always be hope in your country. <BR/><BR/>For as long as you can stay so determined to remain and be strong- then others will follow your example. <BR/><BR/>You are a strong girl and I can't believe what you must go through sometimes. I know you family does not understand how sad you are always; but they will always be there and will always feel better when you show your strength and pride.<BR/><BR/>One day when Iraq is more safe; and I don't say one day like in fantasy books I mean within 10 years; I will come to Iraq with many people, hundreds of people. We will have equiptment and time to help people, we will pick up the empty bullets covered in Depleted Uranium one by one. <BR/><BR/>And we will help your hospitals get the equiptment they need to treat the cancer and other illnesses. <BR/><BR/>If you and your people can stick it out long enough; myself and others will come to help you. When we can.olivebranchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953450996626873865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536771.post-1150157485213014602006-06-13T04:11:00.000+04:002006-06-13T04:11:00.000+04:00Happy 17th birthday.

How can it be that you didn't even have a delicious cake?<BR/><BR/>About your feeling unhappy and guilty, I can understand that sort of feeling. When I was your age, I really felt the weight of the world on my shoulders. There were so many things that I wished were different and better. However, it is not easy to live that way. Eventually, I learned to focus on the things that I could control and try not to worry too much about the rest. In time, I hope that you will learn the same thing. Of course, I hope that Iraq will shine again some day, too!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494609521203854111noreply@blogger.com
