Gutted. Wasn’t looking forward to this day anyway. Don’t like this day or the American Mother’s day on the calendar every year. Only days of the year and bloody thing in life that bothers me. All good. Went for a walk there by the local Mosque for fresh air. Very happy went to the middle East before America. Well looked after by our dear friends, like the Jewish people, the Muslims. Awesome place and people this.
For all people out there grieving regardless of nationality or differences.
