Scorpion : Thanks.
Joe : Yes, it is a personal issue. I contemplated a lot before writing it down. I wrote it because I was not sure if I am missing something here. How will mother from a different culture react if they receive such a note. Gulf is a unique place and my friends back home can't really relate to certain situations here. I have to go thru a reality check, know where I stand, ask opinion and guidance. Thankfully there are wonderful people who are willing to guide me and suggest their views.
