I just got word my friend Kelley in Thailand is OK |
|
I am *SO* relieved!! I emailed her a couple days ago, realizing how pointeless it probably was...I just heard from a mutual friend that she'd text messaged him, telling him to tell all of us she was alright, although in a very devastated area (Phuket).
Just wanted to share...I feel SO much better knowing she's ok. :)

4. I'm really glad for you.. |
|
I emailed my exboyfriend in Koh Samui and haven't heard back yet.. I don't think the area was that hardly hit, but he travelled to Koh Phi Phi a lot, so I don't know what's going on with him.

14. It was decidedly *not* fun |
|
But so far, so good...I just have to go all Jewish mother now and worry about if she's got clean water and such... :(

I didn't expect she'd be able to do that either, but the wonders of technology never cease. ;)

15. Wonder if she ought to have every right to proudly wear one of those |
|
shirts reading "I SURVIVED THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE / TSUNAMI OF 2004."
By the way, I couldn't imagine anyone in New York wearing one reading "I SURVIVED THE "TERRORIST EMERGENCY" OF 09 -11- 2001."

17. The good news is very welcome. I have stopped |
|
watching TV because it breaks my heart to see and hear the stories. Seeing bodies in trucks and parents carrying dead children finally got to me. It is a nightmare.

It really did suck...as bad as it might sound, I'd rather know bad news than no news. Happily it was good news instead. :)

29. That is really good to hear. |

With so many that didn't survive, your friend really beat the odds.
