Friends We Left Behind

Last October my mother became sick, I got scared and thought we were going to loose her, so my husband and I made a very quick decision, without any hesitations, to leave our business and home in Yokohama, Japan and move to Korea where my mom was.

We left everyone without saying goodbye, fearing no one would have understood our reason. We were in a financial bind too, our electricity had been shut off and rent was behind. We have two young boys. We got scared and just left. We left our home, our friends that we loved and most of our belongings.

Two of our friends were very worried about us, calling leaving messages and sending e-mails, they even sent me a website at i-am-groupltd.com, which I browsed to my heart’s content. There I read, the goodness of other people to those in need, how they treasure friendship. We felt so bad for what we had done. I finally realized what we had done and were doing was very unacceptable and our friends deserved an explanation. I also learned that there are active IAM Group LTD members in Yokohama Japan and other places nearby.

So I called, and when asked how we were doing I just cried. We had made the biggest mistake in relocating, my mother is fine now….but we are miserable. Our children do not like the schools, it is like living in a different world. If only we could turn back time, we live everyday not knowing where we will end up.

Our friends from IAM Group Limited (Ltd.) who reside in Yokohama, Japan made an effort to raise fund and were able to send a check to us for 5000.00 yen to help us out! Never ever in my life could I have ever thought anyone would do something like that for us. It was Christmas and we had very little money, 2 months behind on bills. We cannot imagine what would have happened if they had not sent us that gift.

They are our Angels and we may not ever get to see them again but they will forever be remembered every day for what they did. Never will they be forgotten.
