My lovely aunt

I'm thankful for the joy and love my aunt gave us. When She knew that I was coming to Egypt to visit her a respirator with a hose going down her ​​throat prevented her from talking. What she thought and wrote on a piece of paper in that moment was that her children would make sure I had a good time and got the food I liked. That is how much she loved me.

May She and all my aunts that passed away rest in peace

Poor people

Everywhere you go you find beggars. From children to oldies. How some survive is a mystery. 

Went to visit my aunt in hospital today but we got denied entry because someone died in the room. Wasn't my aunt but she doesn't have so much time left. Came back later to visit. It's hard to see someone in so much pain and not be able to do anything about it. It's hard to enjoy my visit. I did eat nice food today but got reminded my aunt can't even eat because she has hoses from respiratory going down her throat. It's worth the trip but will take with me sadness when I leave because it's probably the last time I will see her and she isn't able to talk to me.

Egypt

It has been over 5 years since I saw my cousins and didn't expect I was going to see them as refugees in another country. My main reason for my visit is to see my sick aunt. It will probably be my last time I see her and I've have never seen some one taking care of their mother like my cousins. My cousins showed so much respect towards my aunt and everyone did try to help her go through this as comfortable as possible and give her so much kisses on her face and feet. That's respect and love! I will try to enjoy my stay too. 

Cairo is the most dirty city I've visited. Even the war zone in Damascus is cleaner. 

I hope I can get to the beach for a dive too.

Heading to the land of of pharaohs

It's a place with history and I'm going to travel to Egypt on Saturday. It's not a planned trip nor is it vacation. Going to visit my sick aunt. To many years have passed since I last saw her and I hope it wont be the last. We need to remember that when we wake up for the day it can be our last.

If I get time over I will try explore Cairo, pyramids and maybe head to the Red Sea and dive. I've heard that Egypt got nice places to dive in.
