I am a bit nervous.. and it is strange for me to ask people here for your prayer but I guess there is not many place for me to turn to.. talk about this... So I hope you don't mind.

My mother is having a eye surgery tonight-tomorrow in US time. She is in Japan, and I couldn't be there for her surgery. She has been admitted to a hospital for about two weeks now and she will be there for a month or two.. or more. Last time she was at a hospital for over 6 months (not for eyes though). She has had eye surgeries about five times. Her eye sight is really bad and she might become a blind. So they are trying again for one more time. I am an only child and I haven't been home for almost five years. I feel like I am such a bad daughter.. I wish I could have been there. She also has other health issues. So I hope everything goes okay.

Anyway.. I was doing okay.. but as time is passing by and being closed to the time of surgery, I started getting worried more.. Thanks for listening...
