One word that means so much. One year after disaster hit the coast of Japan, there is still lots that needs to be done to rebuild what was lost, but the important thing is that the work is being done, and perhaps more importantly, that those affected by the magnitude 9 earthquake and the resulting tsunami know that without the help of so many, they would not have been able to recover to the extent that they have.
Physical damage can be fixed, visible wounds will heal, and in time there will indeed be newness of life. For all of this ... and for more, the people of Japan wanted to say thank you. The word in Japanese is ありがとう (according to one of the on-line transators I found). In English, the word is Arigato but what better way to hear it than to allow the people of Japan to speak for themselves.
