What Have You Done in the Last 114 Days?

In the last 114 days, my little daughter graduated from pre-school.  My elder daughter completed 1st grade.   My little nephew began to speak in full sentences.  My husband and I have fought and made up several times.  I have traveled to NY, Colorado, SF, Paris and London.  We have had several dinner parties, and watched exciting finals in the NBA Finals and Wimbledon. 

 I have watched the Iran elections unfold into a potential revolution.  I have watched with bated breath N. Korea test nuclear missiles.  I have mourned the loss of Michael Jackson, who will go down in history as a legend, but who was also an old friend. 

It has been 114 days since Laura Ling and Euna Lee were detained in N. Korea114 days of captivity in a foreign land, with almost no exposure to family or information.  Two girls with a full life, with loving families. 

Laura and Euna have both admitted that they made a mistake.  They crossed into N. Korea without permission.  They have paid dearly for their mistake.  They have suffered –  their families have also suffered.  Euna’s 4 year old daughter, Hana, misses her mom.  Hana also graduated from preschool, but unlike my daughter, did not have her mom with her.  Laura’s husband, Iain, was alone for their wedding anniversary.   

After 114 days, lets join together and ask the US and N. Korea to grant amnesty to these two young women.  Think about the life moments you have experienced in the last 114 days.  Think about what you would have missed. 

Please take a minute and sign this petition to ask for amnesty for Laura and Euna.  The goal is 1 Million signatures.  Lets not let more days pass by.  By signing, you would be helping give a voice to these two women who have none right now.  By signing, you would help the movement to grant them amnesty.  Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The weak can never forgive.  Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Lets pray that Laura and Euna will be granted forgiveness.

    Dear Mallika,

    I have signed the petition, and my daily thoughts for amnesty and a homecoming are with Laura and Euna and that they are released now.

    When I think of things that I've accomplished in the last 114 days, and then I think of Laura and Euna and how extremely limited they are because of their confinement, it deeply saddens me.

    Namaste,

    Pam

    May the frequency of forgiveness reach 1,000,000+ in the name of Amnesty for Laura Ling and Euna Lee.

    With Forgiveness,

    Thanks Mallika for reminding us of the time that has passed and how fortunate we are for it. 114 days can go by so quickly when we are free, but I'm sure for Laura and Euna and their families it has been excruciatingly slow.

    I believe that political pressure works, it did for me when I was detained in China in 2007. I thought I would spend the rest of my life in a labor camp, but with international attention and pressure we were released.

    I just signed the petition and sent out a request to all I know to do the same…I am amazed that there are almost 25,000 fans on their facebook page and 56,000 supporters on their website and only 1,380 signatures on the petition! I will do my best to get the word out further in my circles.

    And to Laura and Euna, if someday you can read this, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We are all thinking of you, praying for you and doing what we can to secure your release.

    Toward Freedom,

    Kirsten

    To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
