Labor Pains - Jeddah to Medina

A five-hour journey turned into a twelve-hour trial.

The road trip from Jeddah to Medina reminded me of labor and delivery. It was an arduous, painful, lengthy process - longer than the labor of both my children combined! Yet, with the first sight of the city of knowledge, of security and peace, all the difficulties were forgotten. Just as when looking at a newborn all the labor pains are but a blur in a mother’s memory.
