How we define luck has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I spoke with a man today who had lost his home and his only child in the tsunami. His son, 36, was engaged to be married in October. The man said, "at least we found his body." He went onto to describe how lucky his family was to have a body to cremate and put to rest when there were so many (over 1,000 in Rikuzentakata alone) who are still missing.
How's that for a reality check?
Wow. No kidding. Thank you for that.
