I’m praying hard for the best possible outcome. Please keep us posted on her family.
It’s been a big crisis here because her mama-san has had a dead phone all week due to some f-up on Verizon’s watch where they “purged” her account over some idiocy. She pays her bill religiously but they cut her off over some stoopidity on their part. And she’s the only one who speaks Japanese and knows who to try and contact. Poor thing is over there crying her eyes out and chanting her Daimoku for the safety of her brothers and sisters. God, this hurts like Hell for people I care about.
What a mess. I just hope her folks are safe and this story will have a happy ending for our family. But there are doubtless several thousands of Japanese who will not be coming home tonight, or ever, to hug their loved ones.
