About the huge earthquakes occurred in turn at the east parts of Japan island

Hi, everyone,
Hope you've been having wonderful days!


  My family members, relatives and I are in safe by the huge earthquakes occurred in turn at the east parts of Japan island since March 11.
We, family and relatives live our capital city Tokyo and southward. But I have a few friends in the tricken areas, and I've been looking for and praying for them since then.

  Thank you very much for so many delegations (experts) or goods for relief over the world. As one of the Japanese, I want to express my appreciation to each
governments and each peoples. And I happened to know that some of the words include Japanese language in foreign newspapers to cheer us up.
(And I also found the articles about apprehension of delaying the economic recovery of Japan. But it deserved, I think. Because, I thought about it first, while watching scary live films on TV and worrying about the sufferers or victims at the same time.)

  And ... The big apprehension of nuclear power plants. The experts has been working at the risk of their own lives. But since the first earthquake hit, it has occurred intermittently. And this condition is the first experience for all the people...sigh...
Please pray for them, the sufferers and families of the victims.
And I pray for foreign peoples and dogs belong to the delegations for relief.

 I wanted to post this post sooner. I'm afraid I couldn't, because I've been sick since middle of this January by the mental and physical stresses.

  Talking about my father, he took in the hospital from last November to the end of this February - another disease was found in his brain last September.
And from March 1, he began to live at an private residential home. He sometimes hallucinate by drug adverse reaction. If he quit the medicines, he come to be a bedridden old man by the fulminant charley horse and paralyses all over his body.
He isn't a dementia patient at the moment. So he always has been having a hard time (He can walk himself, but needs assistance).

And one more ...
Thank you so much my friends for your gifts or cards after last November. I worked till the beginning of this January. And many days were out (for my biz, or going to my dad's hospital), so, I ordered our postal office that all the parcels and envelopes to me to keep there. I received all about a week ago. But I couldn't open all yet. There're 250 or more. Thank you!!
I'm not perfect recovery yet, and the sleepiness by the medicines forces me to go to bed every after taking the medicine.
I'm going to send e-mails to parcels or cards senders gradually. Please give me some time.
I have to open my father's before (those are over 310). 'cos, the time he has is shorter than mine, without a doubt, I think.

I always appreciate all of you!
Have a wonderful week!
Tomo

  3. Call upon the Name of the Lord Tomo - you can't do this on your own! God is just a prayer away.. ask Him to reveal Himself in Jesus Christ, to help you carry all these burdens!! Do you have a Bible? In there you can read who God is and how He provided a way of redemption for mankind - how He wants to be your Shelter in the Storm!!
    I will be praying for you.

  22. I am so relieved you and your family are all safe - and I am thinking of you and Japan every minute of the day. I know in my school here in England we are holding a fundraising day to help our partner school over there in Japan, and I hope that England can in some way help your country to recover. I have been so sad seeing all the terrible pictures, and am praying for everyone.

    And I hope that you get well soon. I am sorry you have not been well, and I am sorry for your father too.
    Please accept my best wishes and love,

  26. Hello, my friends!
    Thanks so much for all the concern, and all your words encourage us, Japanese.
    I want to tell these to the sufferers, too, which you wrote here for taking the time. But the essential utilities aren't restored yet in almost all areas of Touhoku region.

    Once again, thank you so much, my friends!!!
    And I'm sorry that the publishing all your appreciated comments was delayed. Yesterday and this morning, there were Dad's falling accidents. (Fortunately, it wasn't big deal.)
    And I was busy double-checking and adding our emergency supplies, because I reminded of the earthquake (Magnitude 7.1) hit our city 6 years ago. There was a small one last month here, so I came to be a bit nervous. But don't worry about me! Prepairing was finished! Maybe, completely. :)

    Hugs to you all, too.
    Tomo

  27. To Jacqueline: Thanks for your comment! Yes, I have two bibles written in Japanese and English - I'm a graduate of a Catholic high school. I read it almost once in a day. Thank you.

    To Barb: Thanks for the URL! The second application to search me? (Oh yes, I know "It's no joke.")
    I'm exhausted today. I'll visit there tomorrow.

    To Virginia: You also sent me about the Flickr discussion thread by G-mail. Just found it! Thank you!!
    I'm really glad if you give me a time to reply.

    *I'm now very very sleepy, I doubt myself whether I can write English or not. But I post this comment. Sorry, my brain is run out of gas.

    Thank you so much, all the lovely ladies!
    G' night!

  28. なおこさん、お久しぶり!
    ごめんね、今頃気づいたワ。日本語でコメントを入れるのを忘れてたわよぉ・・++;
    というのも・・、
    Blog、やはり日本語と英語を分けようと思って用意している途中だったのです。
    明日、そちらへもうかがうね。 昨日と本日、大事はなかったけれども、父の転倒があって、バタバタして、疲労がひどいから許してね。
    (おまけに、猫が1匹帰って来てないの。 近場は探し回ったけれど、いない・・)

  30. To Lucy: Thanks for your comment and your support activity for your partner school. It comes to be a big help for them, I believe. :) Thank you!

    To Donna: I'm also praying the brave men, I did so especially today. Their dangerous mission under unfavorable conditions didn't get effective results. But I continue to pray for them. - I'm not fond of criticize them despite I'm in safe place.

    Thanks so much, Lucy and Donna!
    Have a wonderful day!
    Tomo
