What a person needs most in the first days of his exile from the homeland is moral support from a loyal colleague or relative who preceded him in his experience, because the one who lived is not like one who heard. 16 years ago, on August 14, 2006, the departure stamp was printed on my Egyptian passport on my way from Kuwait to Dulles Airport in Virginia, the international air port for Washington and its suburbs. I was not going on a tourist trip with my family, but to work, after I accepted an offer made to me by a media organization directed to the Middle East... This was the beginning of a new phase in my life, after which I learned the truth of what Imam al-Shafi’i, may God have mercy on him, said: He is away from the homelands in seeking the highest. He traveled, and in the journeys there are five benefits: relieving them, gaining a livelihood, knowledge, etiquette, and companionship with Majid. But hardly a year and a half passed without finding myself depressed, I felt lonely even though my family was with me and everything around us was beautiful and calm and the people are very friendly, but habits are not habits, eating is not eating, and space is not leisure, even in a small detail of Arab life such as the cafe that I used to stay To him near the house with friends, we contend and share the concerns of alienation and the homeland. I woke up suddenly one day and told my wife that I would make my contacts with my colleagues in Kuwait to return to work there if the opportunity was available or we would go back to Egypt ... and indeed I started the contacts and the opportunity in front of me was to return to Egypt, but not everything one wishes to realize .. before we get hungry By preparing ourselves to leave America, a social worker in the educational area we follow advised us to settle in this period of our son’s life because stability helps the child a lot in forming his language awareness and developing his skills well, while moving a lot may have negative consequences. In the face of this situation, no father or mother can do anything but choose the best interest of his children... The days, months, and years pass, and the first year becomes almost ten years. I passed through America with its ups and downs, and whenever I remember this first period, I say to myself, What if I hurry and leave America? The first months or the first year for any expatriate is the most difficult period in his exile from the homeland.. This does not mean that he will get rid of the burden of this feeling, but he will communicate with him to one degree or another..
