Made it to our 2nd to last flight! We have a row with 2 seats which will be nice since I’ve lost the ability to control my tears! All of a sudden this is real! Our plane was delayed so hopefully we will have enough time to get the flight to Shanghai! Time to shut down! See you in China

wow. just moved to Beijing on the 7th and I cried like a baby on the plane. I think I might’ve caused a few Chinese people to lose some precious sleep with the choked sobs. I understand your heartache. But what a bright future!
