It had been a tough year before my mother died. The day came one day when her soul moved on. I flew to Germany. After the funeral I began the very long journey home again. I was exhausted. Half an hour into the flight my world suddenly collapsed. Luckily a member of the crew took notice . I told her my story. This exceptionally kind lady looked after me in an amazing way. I was so immensely grateful. As a big thank you I donated signed copies of my book The Magic Frangipane and the Shy Coconut to the Emirates Staff on my next flight.

Love truly is the engine of our survival.

Here once again a big thank you to Emirates’ service with a very warm heart.
