11 March 2011 - Earthquake in Japan

This morning we awoke to the news that overnight Japan had experienced an 8.9 earthquake.
We woke Fuzuki up early so that she would have time to comprenend what had happened and to have a chance to discuss and vent any concerns for her family. Mostly she reassured us that the earthquake was further north than where her family is located.  Most of the concern is for her Mom and Dad, as they would have been at work in Tokyo. She is a bit concerned of how they would have managed to get home or if they are yet home in a nearby city.
So, today the thoughts and prayers of this home and all who reside within these walls are with our friends and family in Japan. We ask Heavenly Fathers blessings to be upon you and protect and help you at this time.

Tomorrow is a big day for Fuzuki. She will be attending Prom with her friend Nick. They are planning a day of games, then dinner, then the dance. She tells me that she is not going to promenade. I am not sure if that is correct or not.   Well, for today, our concern and thoughts are with those we care about in Japan.

This evening, we have received an email from Fuzuki's parents. Their family has survived the earthquake well and all is ok within their family and their home. What a blessing. Fuzuki told me that Uske has heard from his parents and Ohne is the only one now that has not heard from her parents. It's good to KNOW that all is well and to not have that worry. So, Thank you Kiyomi, for letting us know that all is well.

Tonight, Fuzuki has gone to  Carmens home to hang out and watch a movie. That is good. they were here last week for a party. Fuzuki had about 8 friends over for a party and to watch movies. They had a good time and lots of good treats. Pizza, chips, candy, cupcakes..yummy. It was good! 

So glad that all is well with Fuzuki's family and friends who are back in Japan.
