Biggest Fear

So my biggest fear about moving abroad was that someone I loved would die and I wouldn't be able to get home. Well...it happened. My uncle passed away Tuesday night. All I want to do is be at home with my family. Instead, here I sit in Prague preparing a lesson about the damn food pyramid. I'm sad and there is nothing I can do.

So sorry to hear that, Emily! Hang in there. My Grandma died while I was abroad, I know it's very difficult. Best, Kira

I am so sorry to hear that about your Uncle. Just know hat you family will understand that you are not there. The hardest thing for you right now is that you feel that you must be there. It will be OK. Take care of yourself and remember him in your own way. Take care-Amanda J.

Emily,

I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. I've had a lack of internet since you moved :) and I haven't logged onto your blog in a few days.

I'm thinking of you.
love,
Jenny
