When I flipped on the computer this morning, I was horrified to read about the huge earthquake and tsunami in Japan. My brother, Les, live in Tokyo. In panic mode, I tried calling my mom, but the line was busy. I checked my voicemail and was so relieved to hear Les' voice saying that he was alright. It's scary and humbling to think about the fragility of this planet that we live on. At the same time I am moved by the immediate help and relief that other countries offer in times of need. We are all human after all and all in this together.
I was finally able to talk to Les a little while ago. He called me on his way to work. He was sad his coffee pot broke. Now back to real life.
That's a scary thing to wake up to. I'm glad your brother is okay.
