The story of Ray

This is a true story. This is not my story but perhaps mine to tell. The land of the rising sun and cherry blossoms, an island surrounded by waves , waves that wander waves that sing , waves that we know , and sometimes not, the force they are , the joy they bring. Common people /ordinary lives....The daily grind of the daily lives,the life and the world as we know. An ordinary day in the life of the ordinary joe.. The men and women going about the business of their daily lives. The men living the daily business of work ,fathers and grandfathers taking care of their families,engineers ,carpenters,electricians ,taking care of their work. here in the very heart of MINAMISANRIKU lives and works the good doctor, dedicated to his profession,devoted to his duty. Every day he went to work on the fifth floor of the hospital.. every night he returned home to his wife who was expecting a child. The women,giving ,caring,making life go on.The good doctor and his wife planned for a future full of joy and happiness. For their home was ready to ring with the cries and the laughter of their yet to be born child and their life waiting to be fulfilled. Because that is what a child is , happiness ,joy..life itself. Existing in world of wonder...dreaming. However if yesterday is good,it is not necessary that today will be better. Anything can happen today. Disaster can strike any hour and scream death and destruction. death from the core of the earth ,the core that clashed and crashed and moved ad built up in a terrible wild movement...It happened on Friday, March 11. A massive earthquake hit the north east of Japan causing a powerful tsunami. A huge 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan in Tokyo at 05.46 am on Friday morning. The huge earthquake shook Japan, unleashing a powerful tsunami that sent ships crashing into the shore and carried cars through the streets of coastal towns. Officials said that the waves from the tsunami were a high as 10m (33ft). The earthquake has destroyed Tokyo's Disneyland car park and caused severe fires in the surrounding area, including one at an oil refinery. The number of people killed continued rising.There were aftershocks shaking the area since the quake hit that morning, including one tremor in particular that was felt in Beijing: almost 1,500 miles away from the epicentre. And the toll continued to rise. Doctor Takeshi Kano was working when the building was hit by a wave which reached the fourth floor.despite the imminent birth of his child ,he stayed there treating the tsunami victims .Meanwhile the devastation remained on rampage claiming lives.. From the ashes of burnt houses ...from the rubble of fallen down cities there rose a strong prayer...it swept through the land. Dr kano worked relentlessly on the fifth floor of the hospital,while the wild killing waves ...they kicked a storm even at the fourth floor...equally relentless. All the time wondering if his wife was alive and well, was his about to be born baby safe.. Tsunami roared on oblivious to the turmoil within..claiming innumerable lives. Yet the indomitable human will...to survive..against all odds. Courage lies in the fact that he worked all through for the good of the people ...selflessly. Naming his baby Ray because a newborn baby brings hope...
