                  Just had a lovely invitation by my brother to join him and his partner for a deluxe free dinner this Sunday. The timing is perfect since I have been badly flagging with my mother's steep decline (we are meeting to discuss her end of life plan tomorrow).

                    So sorry this lovely meal will be at such a sad time. Thing of all the good and happy times you remember with your mother and know that this life is only a veil that we all pass through, and nothing in our lives can be forever. Sad for you, but enjoy your special meal. (((hugs)))

                    Thanks Sue for the hugs and kind thoughts.[​IMG]

                    Yes, I am spiritually focused so indeed know about the veil. It is unfortunate that, although my mother is a catholic, she does not believe in the afterlife (i.e. that we have a soul). She will find out soon enough though.

                        They're in Cappadocia in Turkey. It's part of the country not often visited by Brits.

                          Have you been there yourself, and might it be the sort of place a lone female traveller would feel welcome?
