Japan

I am feeling so bad for the people in Japan.

I can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to be in a situation like they're experiencing.

My heart aches for the people that don't know if their family member(s)/friends are alive or dead.

I have a friend who is in the Marines who was stationed in Japan and had recently been relocated to Korea. I worry about him and how he's dealing with this catastrophe. His expertise is communications, so he may be helping re-build Japan's communications systems. I anxiously wait to hear something....anything...from him, to know that he's o.k.

Then, I also worry about how this will affect us here in the U.S. Will this put the economic recovery in trouble? How could it not?
