not sleeping well

haven't been sleeping well. some nights i'm awake, silently thanking god for protecting judith and marnix on their sumatra trip, for keeping my family safe from harm. i have recurring dreams of my rafting trip, the one where i fell into the rapids and nearly drowned.

at times, i kick myself for being here and not there. i can't stand this feeling of helplessness.

i spoke to tante isti this week. she has cut short her trip to porto. she has left the children, em and luke, with my sister and hamid, and she is going to aceh, with the portuguese team of 2 nurses and 6 doctors. they will be there for one month, going to the remote areas of aceh. *take me, take me*

*sigh* i wish i could do more.
