One Night Back In 1996...

[vintagefabulous]

It was so cold that night I left Japan. I remember I could not stop shivering, but not because of the cold, because I was so frightened. I flagged down a taxi and asked to go to a local hotel. I checked in with my one small bag and my 5 month old baby. I asked that they tell no one I am there. My Japanese is not so great, but I know they understand

Wow. I never would have imagined.

:) How is your baby doing? How are you doing?

Baby is great - will be 36 weeks on Sunday - YIKES!!! ;-)
I'm ok. I have a sore throat that's so bad I can't sleep well at night. It's pure torture. But other than that, doing well, and thanks for asking. How about you?

I know you posted this for me... and this might sound like bull, but when I read your post in the community I couldnt understand why you had freaked out. I came to this post to see if maybe you had returned a comment to my comment & found that my comment on this never got put through. I swear I commented on it, and it was so, so long. It should have just been an e-mail. Anyways, I'm mad at you for wanting to leave me. I dont care if that sounds selfish. What would I do without you? I already don't have a mom, I dont need to lose the only one I've ever felt close to. If this even has a tiny bit to do with you posting this story & me "not" commenting, you should have came to me & asked why I didnt, I would think you would know me better & you would know I would comment on this, especially because I know you partially posted it for me.

& for future reference... I just had to type that comment TWICE for it to be posted, so clearly mine just got lost though LJ

Oh sweetie thank you for this comment...I did not mean to upset you. And don't worry, you do not owe me anything. You never have to comment and although I love it when you do I would never be mad at you. Sometimes it is embarrassing to write things...I am not very good at sharing things. And I am feeling down lately.

[cravermo]

I'm sorry you're so sad... I wish I could hug you & tell you what a wonderful person you are right to your face, because I know you would be able to tell in my eyes how much admiration I have for you. I wouldnt take things that dont get commented on in your journal to heart, I never get comments on my entries because I KNOW none of the girls click "Friends" to read community posts, they just go right to the community because everyone is there. I've maybe checked my friends list twice since I've had livejournal. Just know that you're in my thoughts always, even if I'm not commenting often.

Wow. I was 12 when my mother and I ran from her abusive husband. I know how scared I was then so I can't even imagine being in a foreign country and having a baby to worry about.

[vintagefabulous]

hmmm, that must have been scary! Do you remember a lot of it?
