For Japan {with love}

I can only speak for myself,

but when I heard the news of what has happened in Japan,

and turned on the television and saw the devastation for myself,

I can't even begin to tell you the emotions that ran through my body.

The morning I found out

I was holding my baby and changed the channel to Good Morning America.

Live footage in Japan showed people running...screaming

roofs were falling, and personal items were scattered all about

buildings were tumbling down

At that point, I had absolutely no idea what was going on.

I was scared.

I squeezed Isaiah tight in my arms

as my heart began to beat faster and faster.

I panicked.

Finally {after what seemed like an eternity}

they gave some information about Japan

and how there had been an earthquake and a tsunami

and my heart sank.

I can't even imagine.

Japan needs our help, and our support.

I'm taking part in the bloggers day of silence

to honor Japan

and help raise awareness

and hopefully some money too.

{I'm going to let you in on a little secret}

you see, even though I know where I'm going after I'm done in this world

it doesn't mean I'm ready.

I still have so many things I want to do,

that I want to experience,

that I want to see.

It's hard for me to come to terms with that...because it feels as weird as it sounds

I just need a little more time here.

and sometimes that doesn't make sense.

I can't even begin to imagine what the people of Japan are going through.

how they are feeling.

the realization that this is now their life

something they have to deal with weather they like it or not.

but there is hope,

and you can help.

take part in the blogger's day of silence {March 18th}

being held in honor of Japan
