Japan

My heart has been so heavy for Japan.  Tears flow from my eyes whenever I see an image of someone there, I feel so helpless, things just seem to be getting worse and worse.  If I could only give them back their beautiful homeland, take away the radiation, put things back the way they were before this devastion occured I would do it.  If I could only be there hold a hand or fix a meal or help someway I would.  But I can't.  It's so awful and I'm so sad.                              Diane

This is a very sad situation.My prayer is that there will be those in Japan who can offer those words of comfort and give that hug.

It's so awful - beyond our capacity to understand. I am like you.

I was thinking the same thing...my girlfriend Yumi is trying to get her family to come up here and stay with them....I pray they can.

Yes---that is a very very sad situation, Diane. My heart aches for the people there... I will continue to pray and pray for them. My hubby and I sent some money to the Red Cross to help.

Hugs,

I know Diane, it's so awful. The devastation is heart wrenching. Our e-mails from our CQI friend Hideko lift our hearts, though we know what her and her country are going through. My friend here has a niece that just got home from Japan where she is employed. She couldn't take the stress and fear anymore, and her company sent her back, with her job that she can do from here. Her stories are so sad. The MOST we can do is pray, and hope this tragedy stays in the minds of all til the country is rebuilt.

I know maybe it's not right, but I keep asking Why??...Things just happen, I know. They certainly are handling things with order and dignity, and that says a lot for them as a country. I pray for them also.
This photo is just so beautiful, very beautiful.

Everyday I pray for some goodness to come out of this tragedy....so so so sad.....
I try to participate in all of the Red Cross supporting events when I can, it doesn't seem like much but it is all I can do....
