Those that really know me, know that I keep it one hundred and there is never any shame in my game —- no matter the situation. My Egyptian journey has come to an abrupt halt by my choice. Even in 97 degree weather one can get “cold feet”. Trust me when I tell you. Aywa, (yes) that’s what I got last night. At 9:40am I boarded a flight to Munich, where I sit at the moment waiting for my flight to SFO. A few months ago when I announced the wedding to my brother (10 years my senior) he said, “I don’t know why I’m trippin Kathy. You have been known to walk off from niccas, houses and cars. If you ain’t feelin it, you cut your losses and keep it movin’” Yes, brother, that’s me!
I didn’t want a lot of going back and forth with Hamada nor dealing with any protesting and arguments So I simply said to him, “I’ve got an early doctor’s appointment near the Hilton. So I need to get an Uber by 7” That was my strategy since the Hilton is only a few minutes from the airport. Also considering, he had the sensor to take the elevator down from the penthouse so my planning had to be on point. My mind wasn’t crystal clear but thankfully, I had my girl DeeDee coaching me. I left everything, only stuffing what I could in my MCM backpack, a few personals, no liquids, my Italy and Negril folders, my beloved 7 silver bangles, a couple watches and the clothes on my back.
This isn’t to say, this is it but this is it for now. My heart goes out to Hamada and his family but at the end of the day it’s all about self-preservation.
Thanks again to all that sent congrats! It really meant a lot and I’m glad you enjoyed my journey as short-lived as it was. I did too! There’s always a few naysayers and I’m sure they are jumping for joy right about now. 🤦♀️ Anyway, as they say these days” It is what it is”.
My dearest Kat,My 95 year old auntie-cousin, told me years ago…FOLLOW YOUR FIRST MIND on anything from a sandwich to a husband.I love you and just as I was relishing in your happy chapter, that remains, this is a part of YOUR happiness.You chose what worked for KAT and the bond with Ahmed/Hamada with be tested but maybe not broken.

Kat!Read this again and now I’m wondering if you’re OKAY. Please let me know when you are safe and back in USA. Worrying in TexasDeborah Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
I was happy for you when you announced your impending marriage and I’m happy to support your decision to walk away. I also had the same feeling with my first husband. Despite having second thoughts about marrying him, I did it anyway. That marriage ended in divorce. I’ve since learned that you have to listen to your inner voice and I applaud your courage.

Kat, I am sorry about the outcome, but I thank you for demonstrating that it’s okay to put yourself first. Take care and be well.
Hi Kat, 😢
I am somewhat saddened to learn that our Kattrax version of a Fairy Tail wedding did not take place. However I am also happy that “You” followed your heart ♥️ in the moment and went what felt felt what was right for you. That is most first and foremost the most important thing. I’m holding you and Hamada and your family in my prayers 🙏🏾. Sincerely,
Shonda

I Got your back, girl! It is your life, live it to YOUR Fullest and no one elses. No apologies and no guilt, you are grown and owe no one anything but to your God! My Say and My Sermon. Love you and I will see you in October. One year I will celebrate birthday with you in Jamaica.
Hi my dear friend My heart goes out to you but I know you would have thought this through very very well. May the Lord carry you at this stressful time as always. Hugs xxx

Kat,
Good for you for following your gut! When I was much younger, I lacked the self-confidence to go with my instincts. Now that I am older, or rather more mature, that little voice has become my reliable guide!
Looking forward to celebrating with you in Negril!
Peace & Blessings,
Glenda
