Tomorrow is the second anniversary: we will remember.

I don't know if the second anniversary of Japan's triple disasters will appear in your local media. So I've collected some links to stories, and photos here:

If you want to, you can go back to some of the posts I wrote at the time, in order to remember the big impact it had on our lives, even though we were hundreds of kilometres away from the affected area:

The day of the earthquake.

The next day, a fuller account, but still with no idea of the longer-term impact nor the magnitude of the disaster.

Day five brought new challenges.

And a post showing all too clearly some of the uncomfortable emotional shifts that I went through during this difficult period.

Two weeks later.

Tomorrow I will blog about some of the hope that we're seeing in the area and some of the Christian work that is going on there.
