The trip was really exhausting but all the tiredness just disappeared the moment the officer gave us our passports with the entry stamp in them...we went to Baghdad's airport at 7am, the flight was supposed to be at 11:30 am but it was postponed to 4:30pm and about 4pm a sand storm was in Baghdad so we can't fly until the storm is gone which normally takes a day!!! but I didn't worry because something insides me told me that everything will be fine...this is the fist time that I went to Amman and I'm sure everything will be fine for reasons I'll explain later...anyway, at about 6pm the weather got a bit better and we were ably to fly...we reached Queen Alia's airport (Amman's airport) and once we got off the plane and got into the bus, I started to have a squeeze in my heart, I don't know how to describe it but I was angry, sad, happy, traumatized, excited...I had almost all the feeling a man could feel...we got out of the bus and I felt much better when they took us to direction opposite to that of the jail, that means the situation might be better...I don't want to go into boring details so after 45min they let us in! I couldn't believe it and till this moment I'm not.
I'll tell you a little secret, since the moment my baby girl was created inside my wife everything was taking the right path...everything good started happening to us and almost nothing bad happened! Yes, I believe I have a lucky charm. Yes, it's my baby girl...and that's why I'm always optimistic these days, I believe god is helping and standing by our side because of her, I believe god loves this unborn girl.
so, now I can say that everything is perfect (thank you god) but for one thing that I don't have a salary but I believe god will compensate me, either materialistically or by other means.

I am so happy to hear that you and your wife are in Amman with your families. I do thank God for keeping you all safe.
Dr. Mohammed, I am so happy for you! It is great that your baby and your wife will have decent medical services. Some day Iraq will have greatly improved doctors and hospitals, but for right now, you are wise to get the best you can find. I hope that getting your daughters citizenship papers will not be a problem, and of course more than that, I hope and will be praying that all goes perfectly well for all three of you. I'll bet it will be real nice to have electricity for more than a few hours a day also. Just a side benefit right. Stay well and God bless all of you.

I am so happy to see that you and your wife (and baby) have made it to your families' home. God bless you. I have been following your blog for a few months. I say a prayer for you every time I read. It is good to give God thanks for his taking care of you. I am the wife of a National Guardsman who was in southern Iraq for 10 months. He returned home in October of 2008. I am someone who does not agree with our being over there. I think about what right do we have to go into another country and tell them how they should live when we are not very good examples ourselves. I cannot begin to imagine having to live in the conditions that you have survived thru. My prayer for you is a safe delivery of your baby and that God will provide for your needs. Be safe...
Hi Mohammed!
God bless you and your loved ones.
I have to quote this "I started to have a squeeze in my heart, I don't know how to describe it but I was angry, sad, happy, traumatized, excited..."
How many Iraqis felt that way when they travel!! is it because Iraqis didn't experience traveling like normal human being on this planet where they travel with a big smile on their face because they are going for an adventure, going to see new faces and new places.

I do believe in lucky charms, in signs in life where it leads to happiness or at least leads to the path where happiness can be found. However, I also believe in mind and what the mind can plan to achieve happiness.
Just knowing you are in Jordan with all your family does my heart good. Is there a name in your language for lucky charm? Maybe that should be the name for your daughter. I'm very happy for you that you and your wife are there safely. Have the best of times with your loved ones.

Well done, Sir! Finally ... :)
Best wishes to you and your family - I hope I can help make more people aware of your blog. It is vital to our global future that we begin to put understanding people before politics.
Safe travels and I hope your daughter grows up in a more peaceful world.

For what it's worth, I happen to believe that, when God made it possible for Mohammed and his wife to be admitted to Jordan at last, God was rewarding and repaying Mohammed's for his piety as a good Muslim and for his work on behalf of the poor and "voiceless" of Iraq.
