It was a heavy, confused time for the family as I know you understand. <BR/><BR/>Back in Japan now I'm gradually catching up with work and pushing on with life, although admittedly with a lot of procrastination. It's still hard to get enthusiastic about much, everything I do now seems at the moment to be seen in context with the loss of my mother and the loneliness of my father. I have this nagging feeling I should be in the UK rather than here in Japan, even though my family and business are all rooted here now. I'm sure these feelings will subside eventually.John Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667956500314198121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12212481.post-28786267655112427642007-09-03T19:21:00.000+01:002007-09-03T19:21:00.000+01:00I'm sorry I was unable to raise you on your mobile...I'm sorry I was unable to raise you on your mobile when you were in England. I was very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mum; you've written a touching eulogy for her. Don't fret about not having tears - these things come if and when it's time for them, and everyone takes every loss differently.<BR/><BR/>I hope your Dad, Suzanne, and Paul are coping.<BR/><BR/> When you first emailed me I was going to send you a piece by Kipling, but held back because it seemed too early.
