MargieH 7,600 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Nonna. It must indeed be an anxious time for you.... are you going to see your mum today? If you are taking something to tempt your mum's palate, I hope she will be able to eat a little of it. It must be a frustrating and worrying time for you. Thinking of you xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Yes Margie we went to see her this afternoon. In a way I wish I hadn't. She was fast asleep and the nurse couldn't wake her. We kept shouting for her to wake her up when we told her who we were but she didn't respond. It's hard to see her now after being an active person and full of getup and go.

MargieH 7,600 Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 The visit was a bit of an anticlimax, then. You must be feeling a bit sad ... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Greece was open to tourists now. I’m still waiting for a Jet2 refund for a cancelled holiday to Corfu in early May. But even worse, financially, is an offer of vouchers rather than refund from American Airlines for a flight to Miami on 17th March ..... the day USA closed their borders to us UK citizens. 2 Business Class return flights and we want our money back! A few weeks ago I contacted the US Department of Transportation, filled out an online form giving reasons why we didn’t want vouchers, not heard anything yet, but the website did say it could take several weeks. Our son and his family have a holiday to Cyprus booked, departing 27th July. Cyprus is not allowing Brits in until 1st August. Don’t know how he’s dealing with that but they don’t want to go now anyway. You're right ...... best write this year off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Low flight numbers? Had email last week to say we where still going, but hats off to Jet2 almost instant refunds. Pity we’ve both been working all year, could have done with some horizontal relaxation, k’in Chinkys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oldphil 331 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Nonna, just read your post. Try to think of all the times your mum made you laugh. Maureen whittles about not visiting Ken in the last few weeks (she couldn't anyway) and thinks he would have been alone and confused. Although your mum didn't speak Italian, care and compassion doesn't need a language to express itself. Look after yourself (and your family) You are in our prayers.

MargieH 7,600 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Oh nonna, so sad that your dear mum has passed away. You'll be pleased though that you were able to spend a little time with her before she left ...... even if she appeared not to recognise your presence, she may well have been aware of it. Thinking and praying for you and your family xx 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,082 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Nonna so sorry to hear about your mum. it brought back so many memories for me, I was out walking my dog when i got a phone call from my mums home, but when i arrived she had allready gone. Even now i still remember lots of good time spent with my mum. It is hard but you to will allso remember the good times. Just would like to quote small verse that was told to me by an Italian lady. God saw the hill was hard to climb, so closed you eyes , and said peace be thyn, God's garden must be beautifull as he only choose's the best. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
