Homs is my mother’s hometown.

I hope she's safe....unless you just meant that she grew up there....in which case I still wish her safety wherever she is.

She has been deceased for some time, but thank you for your good wishes.

She was born and raised there, but left many years ago. We had some contact with relatives there about a decade ago, but I’m not sure what’s happening now. Scary stuff.
