My father on his postings outside Hyderabad, would move there and my mother and three kids remained in Hyderabd, so that our studies were not affected. I remember traveling with my mother ( I wonder why my brothers were made to stay back home) to visit my father who was posted at Rajahmundry. It seemed a long drive. And the sight of the river Godavari was breathtaking. There was no road bridge then and we had to get the car on the ferry and it took almost an hour to cross the vast stretch of water.--Ma Musings

...a Geocacher from Utah tells the story of a very interesting travel bug. A couple who recently lost their mother decided to create a travel bug with her picture on it and see it travel the World. The mother (when she was alive) loved to travel and now does so through a travel bug! --Discover Geocaching (Full story on The Sun Journal)

My mom is so frustrating. About a month ago I told her that we would be coming to visit them in May. She said, "Well don't come on Mother's Day weekend, because I won't be here." For the past 5 years or so my mom has gone on vacation with her best friend and the best friend's sisters. So my sisters and I know that Mother's Day is to be spent without our mother. Whatever.--Running with Scissors
