I would have been frantic without frequent updates from them. Gary also sent through an email yesterday letting us know that everyone in Kariya was alright. I just hope Yoko-san can get in contact with her daughter soon.  <\/p>\n<p>As dismal as the situation may be now, I know everyone is doing their part to help in the relief efforts. I really hope Japan will be able to bounce back from this. Sendai in particular holds a special place in my heart, as it was the first city I ever visited in Japan. I&#8217;d like to think that the next time I go back, it will be as lively and carefree as I remembered it to be.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sendai02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sendai02.jpg\" alt=\"Sendai\" title=\"Sendai\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sendai02.jpg 333w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/sendai02-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/prayer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/prayer.jpg\" alt=\"Hope\" title=\"Hope\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/prayer.jpg 500w, https:\/\/jenny-chan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/prayer-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We are thinking of you Japan! \u9811\u5f35\u308c!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My heart goes out to everyone in Japan right now.
