So...it will be Kazakhstan...around 6600-ish km of sky&clouds to cross, some 13 hours of blue scenery, practically, "around the corner"...it will be a holiday with an added poignant "bonus"...I am taking my mom with me...a place she could call home...her family still lives there...surviving sisters and all the second and third level generations...my cousins and my nieces and nephews...so it'll be time of catching up with family, with classmates, as I spent first 15 years of my life there and consider it my Little Motherland...Last time I've been there was...gosh!..18 years ago...and now I am taking my mother home...to join her parents and brother in the family's afterlife's plot...It felt right to reunite her with the ones who loved her and were loved by her, so on the first anniversary of she died we will do just that. And then we'll celebrate her life together, filling missing pieces in our memories of her, painting the fullest picture that is possible...It will be both, a sad and a wonderful journey and I will come back richer from experience...
Not sure if I'll have more time to write anything here before I leave, hence decided to do it a bit in advance...so you'd know not to wonder, if you ever would...This entry entitled as "сау бол", translates from Kazakh into Bye For Now
