Fire Verdik!

That's how the Turkish saying goes, when you lose a crew member. And those were the exact words of a friend talking about someone we know in common who decided to move from New York back to her homecountry on a whim. She was tired. She missed her home, her city, her mother. She was about to get pushed into yet another big project at work. And she blurted out, "Stop!"

She packed her bags, tidied up her apartment and left in a week - just like that! I wonder if she is happy now. Is she more light-hearted? Does she feel more free? Does she feel like she has more opportunities -- and most importantly more love?

Those of us left behind look over our shoulders to where she is now and ask ourselves, "Will that be me one day?" We are scared of what the future might hold for us as we go back and forth between homelands and adopted lands. Should we also make the jump? Will it be all right?
