E - for Egypt

Egypt for me has been a dream place and I have always wanted to visit this place.  One of the reasons is my upbringing in the catholic faith, and all that I have heard, especially the beautiful stories in the old testament and the great biblical personalities as to how they lived their lives and how they trusted God became a great testimony for me, and instilled in me a desire to Visit this place in my life time.

I had been nurturing this desire, as an adolescence; this dream appeared impossible and still I hoped that some day after I start earning, I shall save some money for this purpose, then I  got married, marriage brought its own responsibilities and I felt tied down looking after the family’s need and sorting out family issues, then came my kids and I was happy and told myself that I shall visit this place with my children.

I had a special child for my second pregnancy, then  got  busy helping him to reach developmental miles stones; and then this child had his own health issues, he was prone for respiratory problem and I had to be very careful when I take him out; I did not give up the dream but persisted and when I found my son growing older, and smarter I was happy that I could take him and my daughter too, then my son passes away, I am grieve and fight to come back once again to dream  and reorient myself again for the changes in my family.

Now I have only one child -  my daughter  in class IX and I do not want to give up this dream; I am still hoping that I will visit this place soon;  I am all excited to look at the pyramids, the beautiful sea of Galilee and river Jordan, Mount Sinai, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Garden of Gethsemane and Golgotha…  where Jesus was crucified.
