when i got an email this morning from matsu with 3 words (Please watch
this) and a link, i knew it was important. i clicked on it and after the
first 10 seconds, felt like i was reliving our missions. we were there
in most of these areas, seen the elementary schools that were
devastated, been to the evacuation zone, met the victims, and heard a
lot of heartbreaking stories. in front of the people, we keep strong.
but in front of my computer watching this, i broke down. all the empty
feelings came back, all the horrifying images came back, and all the
emotions that were being held in no longer could. it’s the stories from
the innocent kids. they are so pure and didn’t deserve what happened.
but to see some of these kids with such positive attitudes and such
strong hearts, makes me happy. there are families still searching for
their loved ones, there are families still living in temporary housing,
there are families still trying to move forward, and there are families
that are stronger than ever. it’s these families that make me want to
keep going back and back to show our support. our team is still thinking
about the people in tohoku, and our team is looking forward to going
there in april.
please take the time to watch this documentary that was well put
together by the BBC. next week will make 1 year since the tragedy and as
things are getting better, it’s still far from over. thank you for your
continuing support. We Are One!
