i have lived in japan for almost 6 years, on and off. and i have grown to love the country, the people and the culture. japan is my second home and will always be dear to my heart. let's continue to pray for the safety of the people and and that the survivors will have enough strength in their hearts to overcome their loss of family members, friends, properties, health and comfort.
