It was a really cold night and I only had to walk 30mins but was freezing by the time I got home. They must have been so tired when they got back home. Tokorozawa also is in the manditory blackout zone so I hope you're in-laws are warm and safe during the 3 hours of power outage.<br /><br />I also want to say a BIG thank you to your absolutely wonderful stories that kept me from panicking during all the aftershocks. Earthquakes don't scare me but living alone and seeing devastating footage on the news 24/7 did overwhelm me to the point of slight paranoia and your wonderful stories with the ever fantastic drawings got me through the first night. Everytime my mind needed a break from everything I went to your blog and read. (If you see an increase in views from Japan? Probably all me.) I'm so glad you commented on my TOkorozawa blog so I could discover yours! Just wanted to say thank you! I will be keeping you and your relative in my prayers. xx<br /><br />KaoriKaorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495830655043821533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1880059579746140244.post-80799926306863489542011-03-17T13:58:02.232+09:002011-03-17T13:58:02.232+09:00I have been saying many prayers for all people in ...I have been saying many prayers for all people in Japan. My in-laws walked for 11 hours from their Dr's appointment in Tokyo to their home in Tokorozawa on the day of the earthquake. They are 72 and 70 years old. Truly amazing people. I am in awe about how the Japanese people have responded . I think back a few years to US's Katrina and how there was looting and all kinds of disorder. The Japanese have shown the world how to face the worst of all circumstances. Please keep safe. Linda.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041827764800533568noreply@blogger.com
