Tonight, we are sleeping in an hotel in a city in [Transylvania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transylvania) in [Romania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romania) called [Temesvár](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timi%C8%99oara) in Hungarian and Timișoara in Romanian. We are on our way to the church wedding of Péter (@peter-z) and Timi (@stimea) in another Transylvanian city called [Székelyudvarhely](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odorheiu_Secuiesc) in Hungarian and Odorheiu Secuiesc in Romanian. Péter is the eldest son of my wife Kati. We will be there tomorrow, Thursday, and the wedding is going to be celebrated on Saturday. We already celebrated Péter and Timi's [civil wedding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding#Civil_wedding) two months ago in [Calgary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgary), where they live. <center> ![peter_timi_civil_wedding.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVzbWTof5cAdWcZ36TPmnUfrqXW6dDJK93MicqdvTBydu/peter_timi_civil_wedding.png) </center> Transylvania has been part of Romania for almost a century, after the [Treaty of Trianon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Trianon) in 1920, but was part of Hungary before that. So, there are many ethnic Hungarians in Transylvania. Today in Temesvár, the population is mostly ethnic Romanians, but in Székelyudvarhely, where Timi was born, there are 95% of ethnic Hungarians. We left Vancouver Monday at 11AM for [Toronto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto) then to [Budapest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest) in Hungary where I had left my French car two months ago. From Budapest, we drove to Temesvár and we arrived at the hotel around 6PM, almost 24 hours after leaving Vancouver. The families of Péter and Timi are already in Székelyudvarhely. Some have traveled from Canada, Scotland and Hungary. The wedding will be a joyful event. *** Monday at 4AM, before we left our apartment in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada, I was awaken by a phone call and I learned some sad news: my mother [Marie](https://steemit.com/story/@vcelier/a-brief-history-of-my-family-in-france-part-17-marie-my-mother) had died in her sleep during the night, in her retirement home in [Versailles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Versailles,_Yvelines). <center> ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcGy66nXfB26chQmhg8rFh2AgfGZsoH5fTzVyvETwg4uj/maman_bedroom.png) </center> She was 97 years old and still very active. She had a long and interesting life as a "professional" mother, grandmother and great grandmother. We were prepared to the possibility of her death, but it is still a sad event to lose your mother, whatever the age. The funeral will probably be next Tuesday near the [Abbey](https://steemit.com/story/@vcelier/the-story-of-my-life-so-far-part-17-we-bought-an-abbey), and I will be able to be there after driving for two days after the wedding. ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemit-production-imageproxy-thumbnail.s3.amazonaws.com/U5dqsBBrWzBMUJ4iZdUUyTwQyNr9eg7_1680x8400) <center> ![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemit-production-imageproxy-web.s3.amazonaws.com/U5duKYMQBMNgBcx8pccS1TFSpFyT7nv) </center>

Travel makes one modest, you see what a tiny place you occupy in the world. One's destination is never a place, but always a new way of seeing things.

@vcelier there is no compare of mothers with anyone else, it's such a bad news for me I can understand your feelings, God give peace to their soul and I wish you get everything that you want in your life and may God bless you.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. No matter at what age we lose them it leaves a hole in our hearts. Congratulations to the newlywed couple. I hope your trip goes well.
