Yesterday was the last day that my mum was here. Since her flight didn’t leave until the evening, we got spend most of the afternoon together.
I met up with her at her place because she needed me to help her carry the suitcase down the stairs, just like I had to carry it up when she arrived. We walked to the train station and left the suitcase in on of the lockers there.
We then starter off at the diamond district where we walked around and I thought my mother was interested in the stores, but apparently she was more curious about the people living around that part of town.
We only went into two shops since I am not that much of a shopper. I got myself one nice top and one summer dress. My mother didn’t find anything either. We quickly moved on to just more walking around the city.
We walked to a small botanical garden. Which was really pretty. A nice little breather from all the city workers. After that little adventure, we walked to a place to eat. This time we ended up at a small bar inside a pretty hotel. We didn’t have as big of a meal as we did the day before. We both went with the burger and some drinks.


When we had eaten our meal, we headed back towards the train station and I just helped my mother to find the right train and help her carrying the luggage up on to it, and then we said our goodbyes and I headed home again.
I had a nice few days with my mum. Despite it being a bit stressful from time to time, I still appreciate her flying out and being able to spend some time with her. We did have some lovely moments. I have relieved to being going back to my usual day and spending time with my friends again.
It sounds like you had a lovely final day together with your mum before she headed home. Sometimes the simple moments-walking around the city, exploring different neighborhoods, and sharing a meal-end up being the most memorable. The botanical garden sounds like a perfect little escape from the busy city atmosphere. I’m glad you both got to spend that extra time together before her flight. Safe travels to your mum, and I hope you’ll have many more visits like this in the future!
