Euna Lee wrote a thank you letter to her supporters. You can read that letter at News 10's website.
I'm trying to imagine what it must have been like to be in a small, guarded room for months, away from your travel companion, your family, and your friends, but I really can't. I can only try. Here I am with the full comforts of home on a self-imposed food strike, and my angst right now is that I can't have a glass of wine to unwind! I don't have wine often, but geez, every once in a while, I get the urge to pour myself a glass and watch T.V. I have that urge now, and unfortunately, wine isn't on the "POW diet," as my friends have come to call it (though of course, Ling and Lee weren't POW's--they were, essentially, political prisoners).
My angst is pretty pathetic compared to the months of involuntary incarceration Ling and Lee endured. I'm glad they are home with their families. I'm relieved they're reasonably unharmed.
I hope, someday, North Korea will ends its harsh prison labor camps. I hope it will stop killing newborn infants of prisoners. I hope for a lot of things, but I know none of those things are likely to happen in the near future.
