Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada

::Andrea's Rambling Notes - once from Japan, now from Canada::

My notes and my memories: sometimes about a mom - sometimes about a wife - sometimes about a woman - sometimes about our life

::Author::

Name::Andrea
From::Small city/town, B.C., Canada
I am a short girl from the west cost of BC, Canada and I am a proud Canadian. I went to Japan in 2000 because my Dad told me I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't. He was right. I lived a good life found my husband from the other side of the world and have a beautiful daughter. Basically we lead a pretty normal life filled with normal ups and downs. We both come from different cultures: me Canadian, him Chinese. Living in Japan was a real eye opener about who I am and about the people I associate myself with. I lived and loved in Japan but the time to move on came upon us and in May of 2006 we left and moved to Canada: a huge move for us all. We are now trying to start up again, remodel our lives and create our future for our family. I now feel like a tourist in the country of my birth, my eyes see different and my life will be forever changed. This blog is my notes and observations of our life, our changes, our adventures and new beginnings. Welcome.

I got some TERRIBLE news last night.
It is not devastating as I am trying to stay in a very positive frame of mind on this one.

My amazing Uncle Rick was in a serious car accident on Sunday and things are pretty touch and go at the moment.
He has been in a coma since and has broken his neck. We have no idea how bad the break really is because he hasn't woken up.
More than anything I just want to hug Ruth and the boys right now. I am soooo sad it is hard to describe.

Last night I cried and prayed, and asked Alisha to show him the way back. It was a long night.

Myrna was all apologetic about giving me news like that but I would feel even worse not knowing.

Dad is in Germany right now and won't know until he calls tonight. He is going to, well I don't know what he will do. He loves Rick and he Loves Ruth.

If there is one thing that we should let Ruth and Rick know, it is that there is literally love and prayers going out to them from around the world.

Rick I love you.
I have never told you that but you are one person in this world whom I deeply respect and cherish. Hang in there - please.
