Day after Mariah's stopped deportation.

Hi people, me again. Just to let you know, well, there is a ray of hope, how strong I don’t know but there is hope. Thanks to all of you guys who went to the airport, all the leaflets and whatever you did, oh I can’t thank you enough. Well, thanks to Henry for all the hard work. I’m sure all the efforts of you guys has not been in vein. It gives us all something to smile about at the end of the day. It was a very nice shout I heard in the background on bens phone. That was priceless. I just can’t tell you how relieved I was, thanks to terry also, who was constantly on the phone, who broke the first good news to me. Oh I just can’t thank them enough!. This journey has made me realise there are so very many wonderful people around and I am glad to have known all of you. I will treasure these friendships for maybe the rest of my life. I will always remember your kindness and your support and I just wish I could say I’m as fit as fiddle but I am not. Irrespective of how I am feeling I am so glad to know that Mariah is somewhere safe. Although she is in solitary confinement I’ve got hope to see her in one piece, maybe tomorrow. This has been, like, nerve wracking. I think I could have exchanged my heart for someone else’s because I thought at a point mine was going to fail. I didn’t know what to do. I simply turned to the wall and prayed to god and hoped and hoped. There was this nasty officer who kept, you know) he’s bustling by at the moment!) who wanted to come and pick a fight with both of us, but again, silence is golden. He lost and we won. Oh! This journey has taught me lots of things, one of them is just to be silent when you need to, and you come out a winner. Another thing is that although we read so much negative stuff about asylum seekers, there are so very many people caring and are so very upset about how we are being treated. I have no doubt we have touched many people’s hearts, but their voices are not yet heard. We know at a point they will be listened to, and I just can’t pray enough that it will be soon, because mentally I am losing it now. I tend to forgot things quick. I tend to feel, like, tired all the time and eating which gives you strength is not on my list right now. I think maybe I am also nervous about Mariah, I am hoping she is safe, I just want to see her. I want to keep an eye on her but I can’t when she is so far away, so all these things are crippling me. However I just can’t thank you enough. You just feel like what you have done is very big, and thanks is such a short word. May the good lord bless you all. I’ll see you soon not speak but see. Keep smiling and hold your heads high because you did something yesterday that saved someone’s life. I’ll always be grateful. Judith.
