Dear Kumiko Makihara, How are you there in Japan? Is your living condition there all right? I hope that you have found safe place for you and your family to stay in. I have heard of the devastating effect the huge tsunamis and earthquakes had brought, and I express my deepest my condolences. Although I am many miles away from you, I can feel the pain and suffering of the people of Japan, through the Internet and television. I really hope that everything will go well in Japan.
Please stay strong, my friend. I know you have suffered greatly from the great destructive forces of Mother Nature, and that it is a great pain to see people dying everywhere, seeing corpse on streets and entire buildings reduced to rumble. I know the disaster affects you greatly when you see your property destroyed within seconds, and the greatest pain of all: seeing and feeling how your family members leave you one by one, in this time of hopelessness. However, you should not give up, at times of disaster, treat it as a test of courage, and overcome your fears. You need to go on in life and move away from crying and depression. After all, you are not alone, your friends, relatives and family members that survived will be there for you, and they need you to be there for them! The entire world is trying to help your country overcome the damage of this disaster, and I believe, it would not take long for the houses, schools and other schools in Japan to be rebuilt. With the entire world's help, and your faith in us, together we can help you get over these "dark moments". This may be one of the most terrible moments of your life, but once you live through it, you will be able to enjoy the luxuries that you used to have.
Instead of living your life in bitterness, why not be optimistic and live on with life? Remember, "Tough time never last, tough people do", treat it as a test of courage, and live through this disaster, learning from your experience. You cannot always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside of you. Do not be influenced by the disaster into thinking that life is meaningless. You should be optimistic and accept what that comes to you with a positive mindset.
After saying all this, I hope that you will persevere no matter what life has thrown you, and always stay strong, for there will be people supporting you. Do not forget that you have a friend here that will help you. If you have any problems, feel free to contact me and I will try me very best to help you. Everything that you do now feeds the future; no action is an empty one. If you want to return to the great lives of the past, strive on, and do your best to make your life a better one. Once again, you are not alone, and I will always be there for you! Be optimistic!
Yours sincerely,
Chan Chia Ler
