Day 1-My name is Edward. Back home, I'm an engineer for NASA. But it turns out that all my knoweldge doesnt amount to anything on this island. I was visiting Japan's space program's base of operations and all was well until my return flight to the U.S. went down. I think I'm somewhere in the pacific ocean. It's strange, while survival and a way home should be my priority but I can't concentrate. All I can think of is my wife and two children. I can only hope that I see them again.

Day 14- I havent wrote for two weeks due to other needs. I've taken care of shelter, I found a cave on the south shore of the island. I've also discovered a source of food. There are many coconut trees scattered about as well as shallow water fish. I continue to miss my family, and my lonliness has only progressed.

Day 26- After almost a month on this island I've come to realize what's truly important. Survival and relationships. It's led me to wonder if anything I've done for my country has really mattered at all.

Day 48- I'm found. I'm finally found. A fishing boat saw my fire when passing by the island. All hope has been restored. I'm going to see my family again.
