Earthquake update 3

[elspethelf]

I'm sitting on a plane that is bound for London. The past few days have been so emotionally draining, I feel as though I'm in a bad dream. Even though I'm leaving only temporarily, the friends, co-workers around me behave as though they don't believe I will return. I've never felt so saddened, or so tortured by a decision.
I pray that my leaving

I hope you can come back much sooner than anyone expects *hug* and that you can be well, just in yourself, though I'm sure nothing can feel okay right now.

I hope I can go back according to plan too! Every morning I hold my breath when I look for the latest news on Japan.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I've been thinking of you every day since this whole disaster occurred.

I'm sorry that you felt things were bad enough that you had to leave, but I'm glad that you're doing what's right for you. Hopefully the situation will improve and you'll be able to return soon.

*hugs you tightly*

Thank you! You don't know how much your words mean to me right now.
Leaving felt really, really felt awful. Part of me felt so guilty about abandoning Japan, especially since all my friends/colleagues are Japanese and therefore have no where to run to.
I pray that the situation will improve, or at least stabilize, soon.

*hugs back*
