Good morning to all members of ES, as you (might) know our dear member Nooralhaq is leaving next Tuesday her beloved country USA to move to another beautiful country ,EGYPT, and will get married to the man who captured her heart.

Its indeed sad to say goodbye to her but we all should be happy for her and may the move, the adjustment to life in Egypt, to be a wife work out wonderful.

I think we should throw her a little "virtual farewell party" before she's gone, wish her all the best and give her some tips for her new start.

Noor, I am myself very excited what the future will hold for you, I sincerely wish everything will work out the best and please if you find time, if you in need, come back here on ES to talk to us. We will miss you a lot, girl.

7aya- for always keeping us balanced especially with respects to the diversity of Egypt, and thank you for extending your hand to me in Egypt

Masrii- thanks for the advice, I grew up here in Texas, if the mesquitos are bigger than they are here, I would be shocked!

Serendipity- thank you for always posting such nice topics and trying so much to be fair even when sometimes others weren't so fair to you, you are a true Lady

Newcomer- you've always told it like it is, and I have kept your advices as well as keeping in my mind to hold some people close to me. You are wise beyond your years.

Samia- I haven't really got to know you well, but so many I am close to have always spoken very well of you. I would love to grow my circle of friends as much as I can, thank you for your welcome to your beautiful country.

Snoozin-ohhh, Suz, what can I say to you that so many don't already say? You have been my partner in crime, my touchstone and my conscience since I have known you. There has always been nothing but respect between us and THIS is the most anyone could hope for in a friend. I love you bunches and hope to see you in Egypt within the year, inshallah. So nice sharing convert stories with you, and not feeling 'so alone'. You're always in my thoughts.

Paint me as I am (Jannah)- a TRULY lovely soul who feels things so emotionally and never has bad things to say about anybody. You always teach me how to see the world and others, and for this, I could never thank you enough. We will stay in touch, inshallah, when I think of you 'true friend' is the only thing in my mind.

Keepin it Real- You definitely keep it real and I always imagine you by the water on an evening enjoying the beautiful Western Coast of our beloved States. You reached out your hand to me here and were a friend to me. Alhamdullilah for everything.

Gigli- I call you 'The Great Peace maker' of the ES forum, you have a light that attracts so many and you have a natural calming effect to many of us on ES. You kindness is so appreciated.

River of Love- Thank you for always gracing the forum with your beautiful poetry and coloring our lives with your deep and emotional thoughts.

MyKingdomForATaba2Koshari- my entire time on this forum I have wondered with your names, but it doesn't matter. I always know you to be one with a great sense of humor and a gentle heart. You once said to me 'Noor you seem so sweet and innocent' and something about those words make me always associate your name with the same.

Horemheb- thank you giving me the intellectual stimulation in our Politics room day in and day out now for over a year! Sometimes we want to tear each other apart, but you are my brother in Texas, with a good heart for your family and friends. Just don't lean so far right and you'll be fine. I'll miss you guy

Kafir- (yes I am naming him/her), I know you're American even though you won't admit it, but that's ok. Most of what you post infuriates me and disgusts me on a day to day basis, but it also reminds me that there are no two people alike, and part of that is what makes this world so beautiful and worth living. I hope you find the truth.

Crazylobo- My 3rd person speaking friend, you have filled me with laughter that you will never truly know the extent of. Thank you for reminding me that things on ES aren't always so serious and being so sweet in your manner.

Sonomod- we never really saw eye-to-eye since I joined ES (what seems like ages ago), but I always hope for you the best with your family and with Islam as well. I hope your studies take you where you need to be in your life and hope also the best for you and your little girl...daughters and mothers have bonds nobody could touch or understand. Nobody knows your situation truly except yourself and I hope so much that you find your deserved happiness and the peace you crave.

1mangang- thank you for showing us how a true Western Cowboy Gentleman defends women here and for showing us how much a brother can love his converted sister, even so far as joining an Egypt Message Board on her behalf. I hope God graces you with so much for supporting your sister and her marriage to an Egyptian husband, you will always remind me of what I miss about home, I will come often to get the scoop of Dallas from you

Sam on Line- even though you are the moderator, and I wish you were, thanks for you for giving us great laughs and for being one of the men here the women aren't afraid to talk to (so as to avoid flirtation). You made ES so fun.

Salama (even though she's been banned)- my first friend on ES she continues to be close to me to this day. Always willing to help others and give advice, share knowledge and truly interested in her friends' feelings and well being. If you knew Salama while she was here, you would miss her too!

GermanJulia- we didn't get a chance to know each other in time but I can tell from our talks you are a sweet girl. Thanks for our German Exchanges, I rarely get to use my German, and thanks for your kind words when I was harrassed. Good luck with your Spanish

Someone_lost - thanks for your great memory and for your sweetness here. I never knew if you were a girl or a boy, but it didn't matter. You were always friendly and sweet to all here.
