Really sorry for your loss Xochi My aunt is amazing for her age, but, simple fact is, most of her friends and family are gone and as much as she keeps herself active and busy, the long winter days and nights are, well, v long and sometimes lonely. She loves going out there and has done it on her own, but would much prefer going with me so I get an for that and a TUT TUT for not doing what I really should be doing. What the hell!
Whatever you do for your aunt is the bestest thing Soops! Simple fact is, you bought her into your trip, proving it is done with love. My Aunt Joan had a fantastic life! She lived all over Africa (my uncle was a proper colonial admin man). They finished up his working days in Nepal after which they reluctantly settled down in the UK! Her illness was lengthy but she had the most devoted husband to the end, my wonderful Uncle Gordon.
