東日本大震災が起きて5年が経った。
その時、私は被災された人達の事を考えると居ても立っても居られずに、友人と石巻まで食品を持って駆けつけ、炊き出をして、それを食べてくれた人達から有り難うと喜んでくれたのを思い出す。寒い中に見る被災地の情景には恐怖さえ覚えた。
今、私と息子にとっては掛け替えのない親友のwataruが、福島で除染作業を彼の会社として取り組み
復興支援を後押ししている。
彼から、被災地の話を聞いた。
被災された方々の心境を察すると心が傷むが、前向きに復興支援という
目標に立ち向かっている地元の人達、現地に寝泊まりしながら支援に関わっている人達には明日の大好きな日本の未来に大きな希望さえ抱かせる勇気を感じる。
世界は様々な意味で激動の時を迎えている、東京オリンピックを迎える日本には世界に明るい光を解き放つ
誇りと勇気を持って復興支援と云う課題を克服してほしいと心から願うと共に私も微力ながら協力したい。



Five years have passed since the big earthquake in Northern Japan. When I thought about the suffering of the all those people i could not stand by and watch. We gathered up things and people and went to the disaster area. All the people were so very grateful when I think about all those memories it touches my heart.
When I looked upon the disaster the fear was and is imbedded in my mind forever. Zion and my dear friend Wataru is visiting us today. Wataru is now working in Fukushima cleaning up the area.
He told us many things about what is happening there. He tells us about the people from there and also the people from all over working to make Japan recover from this disaster. Healing is taking place and the bravery of all the people is heart warming.
Now the world is faced with many problems.
Japan in the new future is awaiting the olympics hoping to bring light and hope to the world.
I am hoping thru the olympics this disaster will also bring all of japan and the world in this
bright light. I want to be part of this fight although as one not very strong all of working together can make this a reality.
I will do my best.
