[My husband took these pictures]

After the tsunami, in my apartment, on skype with my family, it was my only option to communicate with my family and friends for long.

Talking with Noa. We had gone through 2 earthquakes already. And the pictures on TV started to flow with the tsunami devastation…. below I was showing my television screen, while watching the horror LIVE on NHK….. The news were not yet shown on TV overseas… horrifying…

Later at night speaking with Noa and Luca again, showing them my neighbor’s adorable little dog. She was stuck in traffic for 4 hours coming back home. I was taking care of her dog, (having the key of her home), I went to pick up her dog knowing that she was not home to take care of it. The dog was trembling & shaking… poor thing.

Behind me my dear Juliet who takes care of our home in Japan, and helped me raise my children when I was at work crazy hours each day, trying to make Japan, being number one in the World of beauty…..We were together when the huge earthquake happened. Then the tsunami stroke…. we lived the horrifying events together glue to the TV screen and with our eye-balls literally coming out of our heads…..
