right now, we are all sitting in the common room, with the door locked so that no media can come in. mariah’s dad is a captain in the merchant marines, and his ship has been hijacked by pirates. they are off the coast of somalia, and her dad was taken off the ship and onto a lifeboat, held at gunpoint by the pirates. the media has already tried to contact mariah via facebook, and are on there way here now, so we are trying to keep mariah out of their reach. it is crazy right now, and we are all very scared and worried for richard….
the world today is so messed up.
i’m glad that the newspaper has a ridiculously massive “RESCUED” headline. it seems like you’ve been a really good shoulder of support for your friend, i know how good you are at being there when someone needs that.
i have a feeling it will probably be super overwhelming for a while, so it’s good she’s got all these friends to support her!
i miss you and wish we had another weekend (or week, month, year) together
