Hi Farrah,

I think you misunderstood my posting. He has never asked for money from me, I have offered it and sent it with no expectation or desire to ever have it back. I have travelled all over the world and seen very deep poverty. I feel very lucky to have a job and to be able to care for my 2 beautiful children one foster child in Kenya and send a little money to my boyfriend.

He lives with his parents where i stayed while i visited him but i slept in a big room with his sisters. He is fixing up a small bedroom for me for when i go there and we are married. I will be staying several months. After our marriage it will take 6-9 months before he can join me in Canada.

I also thought you should know that in Morocco people are never married in the Mosque, it is a place of worship and should not even be entered by non-muslims. In life we never can know any outcome before it takes place but we can know our own committment to something. It is best to do things because they make you happy. Are you married to a Moroccan ? How do you know about their culture and what has caused you to be so negative? I will pray for you and ask you to think aboout what you can give to society. Giving freely brings such joy to a persons life. Take care Farrah my wish for you is happiness.......Lina
