As the only child in the family, I have always been loved by my parents wholeheartedly. And this is my first time so far away from home. After a long night sleep on the plane, here I am, a whole new country. Once landing, I call my parents immediately, the earthquake scared the heart out of my mother’s mouth, but I am not able to comfort her with my arms. What's worse, due to the bad internet connection, I can't even keep in touch with her. The physical distance really make it harder to be apart from my parents.
