Japan

You can do it! 

Never give up!

Tweet From Japan after Earthquake and Tsunami

 Don’t forget your kindness. Don’t forget to lend a hand, to help others, and the heart to forgive. You are not alone. We are with you.

The vending machine, the internet wifi spot has been opened to the public; everyone is cooperating and people around the world are moved by this and are trying to help. We have changed since the time the Hanshin earthquake struck 16years ago. We have grown stronger.

United Nations quotes “Japan is one of the most generous and strongest benefactors— we will do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING we can at this very difficult time.”

On my four-hour walk home, a woman was standing out on the sidewalk holding up a sign that read “Please feel free to use our bathroom!” Japan is the most heartwarming country in the world. I just cried and cried.

My two year old son was putting his shoes on himself saying “I’m going to go arrest the Earthquake!” I realized that inside a tiny body, there is a lot of courage and Justice. Everyone, lets stand strong and get through this.

M9.0 marks it as the biggest earthquake ever. Let us mark our love and energy to reconstruct as the biggest ever.

A ninth-grader was making rounds on his bike with his dad to check if everyone was alright. Before the earthquake, he was probably a rebellious teenager just like any other boy of his age. He now saw that his father was as strong as a father could be and has developed a true respect for him. Experiences we’ve gained as adults can be the most reliable thing in times of crisis.
Fathers and mothers in areas affected by this disaster, show your strength and pass the future on to your children.

I saw a child saying to a station staff, “Thank you very much for your great job to keep driving trains.” The staff dropped his tears. My tears also dropped much.

An old man spilled out “What’s going to happen next?” A young boy, probably in high-school, sitting next to the old man replied, “It’s okay. Hang on for just a little while. When we grow up, I swear we will fix everything back together again.” The boy kept rubbing the old man’s back. A bright future, that’s what’s next!

“Nights were never this dark, and I never realized how beautiful the stars were. Sendai, look up and keep your heads high.”

From conversation overheard at evacuation camp

Tomorrow, my father will be sent to the Fukushima nuclear plant. He will be retiring from his job in six months, and I was near to tears when I heard that he actually volunteered to go. “What we do now will affect the future of nuclear plants. I have a mission to accomplish” he said. I wouldn’t say that he’s been a dependable father at home, but I’ve never felt this proud of him as I did today. We are all praying for his safe return.

A child is holding a snack, and waiting for his turn in queue at cash register. When it was almost his turn, he looked at the register then he looked like he was pondering for a moment. Then he put the money he had to buy a snack into a donation box and returned the snack he was going to buy, to the shelf, and left the store. Cashier said “Thank you” to his back in a quavering voice.

Disneyland gave out sweets from their shops. Some high school girls got many as they can. I thought why, but they gave the sweets for children in evacuation site. That was really moving scene.

Last night when I was tired out waiting for the train at the station, the homeless people gave me one of their cardboards to prevent the cold… even though we usually ignore them in daily life… So warm.

I recall my mother’s words,
”We don’t have enough for us when we fight over things, but we have more than enough when we are willing to share.”
I am highly proud of those of us who put this in practice having suffered from the disaster in Tohoku. I feel proud of Japan. I wish you all best of luck.

A young lady was hollering at the media staff who came to report damages at Ishinomaki. Thinking that she was calling for help, the media staff went over to where she was and met several locals evacuated from their homes handing out hot coffee.
“You guys are working hard too. Have some coffee”
They have enough things to worry about themselves.
Japanese are such wonderful people.
