I am still without words myself and we lived through the quake only in Shonan, 300 km away from Tohoku.<br />We will be back in Japan and I will contact you soon concerning the backpacks.

Somehow, as Americans, we seem to have lost the ability to focus on anything for more than 3 days. Not good. Japan is quickly becoming a footnote on the evening news and that disturbs me greatly. Your blog keeps it front and center in my mind and prayers.

Those of us in the states want to know what's REALLY going on-- not just what the death toll is (which is horrible by the way!). I don't know you, but I'm grateful for your courage and your honesty.

But, like some others who have commented, it is not <i>totally</i> the same. Because of your frank posts, and your life being similar to mine in many ways, the disaster has struck home. I have gone through my emergency supplies and am working to remedy some of the blank spaces that you suggested we re-evaluate. I have gained a new appreciation for warm water straight from the tap and the other luxuries that seemed so common "before." Our whole family has tried to stay current on news from Japan so that our prayers can remain accurate and specific. <br /><br />Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the good people of Japan (especially those working on the reactors). Please keep writing because it keeps us in touch with the realities of other people's worlds and reminds us to be grateful.<br /><br />God bless you and your family.Mothershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13734896338035985071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16717816.post-62508016189642719902011-03-25T09:00:07.294-07:002011-03-25T09:00:07.294-07:00Hey Emily...was referred to your blog by my cousin...Hey Emily...was referred to your blog by my cousin Mindy Perkins...I am moved to tears for Japan and for those who are suffering...we feel helpless with ways to help, so far away but reading and hearing about the many miracles and saddnesses happening...please know we pray for you!

There are so many who would benefit from a "reality check" over here by reading your day-to-day events and hearing first hand what you are going through...God bless you, your husband and your children...the church is true and aren't the scriptures so comforting?

My prayers will continue for you, your family, the members of the Misawa branch, and all the people of Japan who are suffering from this horrific event.

You inspire me because you are REAL. Don't feel bad to be real. Anyone who is in your shoes right now feels the same way, the difference is you are also not afraid to put it down on a blog for the world to read. People in America are a bit checked out. It really irritates me. Ever since the President bombed Libya I have hardly heard a thing about Japan and that REALLY bothers me. Now the big quake in Thailand again...I think for some people they are just turning their faces and thinking it's too much and they are fine. I WANT TO HELP! Every time I try to I am told I can't ship things. I have bags of stuff waiting to get to you guys. Warm clothes, hygiene items, etc. I also have many more people who want to donate. I am struggling to find a way to get it there. The church says Japan only wants money right now and won't take goods. <br /><br />Stay strong and know that you are helping so many people by being human!

If it helps you, continue to write..... because it is helping lots of people in the process! I was worried about PTSD a week or so ago, thinking about those children. But I can understand how, often, they are doing better than the adults who have the full scope of knowledge.
