We are trying to get a visa for my mother-in-law to visit us for a few months. It’s challenging—she’ll need to prove she has enough reasons to go back to Ethiopia, after that visit. Without a house (it’s our house she’s living in), without a permanent job (permanent jobs hardly exist in Ethiopia, certainly not for the non-educated people), without husband and children to take care off, it almost seems impossible, but we’ll try anyway. She's taking care of some school-going nieces; maybe that counts.
It’s going to be interesting, if we manage—an old woman, not speaking anything but Amharic (the Ethiopian language), analphabetic, covered in tattoos
But for sure, there will be lots of good, freshly roasted and brewed coffee...
...and lots of smoke in the house…
Best of luck Ruben - prayers of well wishes and safety to you and yours.
