Emergency trip back to the UK, my mother has been given only days to live, cancer.

I hate cancer. It's unfair. I'm very sad to hear about your mother. Have a safe trip and be well.

Gob, so sorry. That's surely not the type of news you need to hear but I get a sense that it was also no surprise. Regardless, a tough road lies ahead for all involved. You are in my thoughts. Peace be with you.

Sorry to hear this.

Many thanks people.

I fly out tomorrow night, due to security restrictions there is a two day wait before you can book and board an international flight now.

The doctors sent her home from hospital, telling my sister she had 'a few days" left so I hop she's still there when I get back.

Support and offers of help from UK friends (places to stay, offers of cars, etc,) has been heartening and almost overwhelming.

I'm a bit in limbo now.

That sucks.
Prayers are coming your way. And over to the UK too.

Here now. Mother is still with us, but she's obviously on the brink. I'm having a beer in the pub her and my dad used to drink in as a nostalgia trip. Will look in when the dust settles.

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens. Peace.

I am just noticing this now. My thoughts are with all of your family.

Glad you made it in time; hope she is not so far gone that she doesn't recognize the fact you are there.
Peace be on the both of you, bro.
