Help Bring Khalid to America

I know most people have already heard this and/or read about this -- but I wanted to cover all my bases. I am recieved a letter from Homeland Security attacking Khalid's Christianity and the validity of our marriage (if we married for love or a visa). Thus I am asking anyone who knows me and of Khalid through me to write a letter stating this. I want Homeland Security to realize that I am love my husband more than anything, that I am capable of making good choices, and that it is offense to question his faith, anyone's faith for that matter. It is hurtful and shocking that Nicoda is not a good enough example of our love for each other....I mean he is the cutest baby EVER and looks so much like his daddy! (and I am not biased at all.)



Anyways if you want to help, can help please e-mail a letter to me at stacia_hamidi@yahoo.com. It can short and sweet or as lengthy as you want. I just need to mail them by Monday or Tuesday, so make sure I have enough to print yours off.



Thank you so much!!!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day -- a day to honor those who have fallen for our country. I went to Celebration at the Station (a big concert and fireworks show) last night for Memorial Day and it was so touching. They had all the service men stand and then showed a slide show to honor those who are no longer here. It was in front of the WWI memorial or Liberty Memorial. It was very hard -- all thoughts of death for me right now are. It has also been hard to see so many people when I visit Nicoda. I usually see one or two cars and this weekend total I saw probably 500 hundred....eye opening how death touches everyone. :-( The one thing that none of us can escape.

One Year Anniversary and PRAYER!

One year married, but one year apart. Khalid and I spent hours and hours talking yesterday on the phone to celebrate our anniversary. We talked about our wedding day and tried to remember every detail -- I was surprised at the little things he still recalled that I hadn't. We talked about our dreams and how much we hope to be together soon. It was nice...very nice. Sometimes in our daily talkings of how are you, what are you doing, etc, we forget how it is to talk about life and issues. I loved my hours talking to Khalid.

We got some good news on our process which was wonderful for a few days before we got some really bad news. The good news is that we might be closer to him getting Austrian papers....and EU citizens can travel to the United States without needing a visa.

The bad news that the immigration people that we have been dealing with and having troubles with spoke with Homeland Security whom Khalid and I had a joint interview with and passed. Homeland Security is now pulling their approval based on stupid facts and false information -- they are stating that I married Khalid just to get him to the United States and that he became a Christian also for this same purpose. It is awful and it was a slap in the face to even read it. After everything we have been through and trying so hard -- they resort to saying that we don't really love each other and degrade Khalid's faith. It is an all-time low....even for the United States Government. I am not sure what I need to do next except write a rebuttal letter, but what we need the most is PRAYER!

PLEASE PRAY FOR A MIRACLE!

PRAY FOR SOMEONE COMPASSIONATE TO RECEIVE MY LETTER!

PRAY THAT GOD SHOWS HIMSELF IN THIS PROCESS BY ALLOWING KHALID AND I TO BE TOGETHER FINALLY!

Thank you!

Chloe "MJ" Sikes

I finally got to meet her. Ms. Chloe Mae!

It was so wonderful to meet her and catch up with Jacqueline. I got to do the whole sha-bang with her -- diaper, change clothes, hold her, feed her, get puked on. Chloe even got to meet Leah's daughter Piper. :-) I still can't believe that they are actually going to be moving to Kansas City either. YEA! Jordan and Jacqueline are both so great parents....you are one lucky girl MJ! I can't wait to keep spoiling you. :-)

Dream of Heaven

Last week I had a dream about Nicoda that I wish I could dream each night. I dream of Nicoda a lot -- but it is usually reliving his death. :-( So when I woke up last week with such a feeling of peace, I almost wept.

I dreamt I was in heaven holding Nicoda. It was just me holding him and we were looking at each other. We were both completely focused on each other and yet I was also completely aware of everything around me -- Jesus, others who have died, clouds. And I felt what I can imagine is true peace. I can barely even describe it though.... It was feeling alive and so calm. Every sense, every cell was in tune. The dream was as every heaven dream should be....heavenly. Peace, Nicoda, and Jesus :-)

I told Khalid about it and he was so jealous....not of me being in heaven, but that I got to be with Nicoda. So now I am praying for him to have a good Nicoda dream as well....
