My biggest regret of coming to Japan is simply that I don't have the option of coming home when something bad happens. I want to be there for my Mom when she's having her multiple crises. I want to be in Bradford for the Camerons. I want to be there for the bad and for the good. It sucks being close to someone and not knowing what to do or say to help them. It sucks even more not even having the chance.
If nothing else, it's times like these that get me off my butt to do what I can from so far away. Mending friendships, getting back in touch, calling home, remembering old friends, preserving new ones...Not wasting time. I thank Alissa for that.
