Cynni’s mum stands on a quiet mountain path in Brandlucken, Steiermark, Austria, during a peaceful morning walk after the long 1100-kilometer car journey the day before. She faces the soft light breaking through the clouds, arms stretched wide with her hiking poles in hand, as if welcoming the warmth of the sun. Her maroon walking clothes and patterned jacket contrast beautifully with the vivid green meadow beside her and the dense forest rising behind her. The scene feels calm and joyful—nature still damp from the morning, air fresh, and sunlight gently touching everything. Her expression is relaxed and content, capturing a rare, tender moment of pure happiness. Surrounded by Austrian hills, forests, and the quiet of early day, this photo radiates warmth, love, and the simple joy of being together in a beautiful place.

My mum, enjoying the morning sun, during a little walk with me. We had traveled a little over 1100km by car the previous weekend, and now, we were enjoying the lovely morning weather together by taking a little walk in the neighborhood of Brandlucken.
I don't know if we will ever visit there again, as dad's health isn't the best anymore. But I have some special memories, made in the area of Heilbrunn and Brandlucken, in Steiermark, Austria.

@PixysJourney This is truly an emotional moment. Every step you take with family leaves a lasting imprint in your heart. Even if there’s no chance to return to these places in the future, those beautiful memories will stay with you forever. Spending time like this with your mom is priceless. I sincerely hope your dad’s health improves, and remember, cherishing each moment is what truly matters.

@Licy87@mastodon.social Fankoos 💜 it was a lovely moment and we had a very nice walk together. Indeed, these memories are the ones that last and that are precious.
Unfortunately, dad has an incurable type of cancer, so it won't get any better... But we'll make the most of it as long as we can. Thanks so much! 💜

@PixysJourney Reading your words, I feel both warmth and heaviness in my heart. My father also left my mother and me early due to illness, so I understand that kind of time. I believe you will cherish every day, every moment, because that is what truly matters. Love and companionship always bring incomparable strength. Where will you go next?

@Licy87@mastodon.social I'm sorry to read about your loss. 💜 My dad is still around but I don't know for how long. He has an approved euthanasia request, so he can end it on his terms.
If all goes well, there will be a new puppy in my life next year, so I guess my money will be spent on her, instead of a vacation... 😊 But she will be worth it, as I'm sure that she'll bring some fun and love back into my home (our home then) and life. 🐾
