6 Years ago today, March 11, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and the 33 foot tall tsunami hit northeast side of Japan killing 15,859 people with 2,000 people still missing. I lost my daughter on January 25 of that year. I can relate to all the families who lost their loved ones.

Mayumi found the poem and she shared with me. I dedicate this poem for people who lost their loved ones on this day. Let me be myself for one day a year. I cannot cry by myself but I can do this with all the other people. Don't be sad for me. The end will come to everyone. So, live the life to the fullest like it was your last day.


 If I knew it would be the last time
 That I'd see you fall asleep,
 I would tuck you in more tightly
 and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

 If I knew it would be the last time
 that I see you walk out the door,
 I would give you a hug and kiss
 and call you back for one more.

 If I knew it would be the last time
 I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
 I would video tape each action and word,
 so I could play them back day after day.

 If I knew it would be the last time,
 I could spare an extra minute
 to stop and say "I love you,"
 instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

 If I knew it would be the last time
 I would be there to share your day,
 Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
 so I can let just this one slip away.

 For surely there's always tomorrow
 to make up for an oversight,
 and we always get a second chance
 to make everything just right.

 There will always be another day
 to say "I love you,"
 And certainly there's another chance
 to say our "Anything I can do?"

 But just in case I might be wrong,
 and today is all I get,
 I'd like to say how much I love you
 and I hope we never forget.

 Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
 young or old alike,
 And today may be the last chance
 you get to hold your loved one tight.

 So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
 why not do it today?
 For if tomorrow never comes,
 you'll surely regret the day,

 That you didn't take that extra time
 for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
 and you were too busy to grant someone,
 what turned out to be their one last wish.

 So hold your loved ones close today,
 and whisper in their ear,
 Tell them how much you love them
 and that you'll always hold them dear

 Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
 "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's
okay."
 And if tomorrow never comes,
 you'll have no regrets about today.
