On November 18th, we went to do another mobile café. One of the ladies who came was an older lady who was living there alone. She had gone to the hospital to have knee surgery the day before the earthquake hit. When it hit, she was on the fourth floor and she said the jarring threw the other woman in her room. She had asked someone to look in on her house while she was in the hospital. She was worried that that person might have been at her house when the tsunami hit. She kept thinking it would be her fault if that lady was there when it happened. It was days before she could make contact with anyone beyond the hospital. Her house was ruined, but the person who was supposed to check on it was okay.
Now she lives by herself in the temporary housing. All her children are in Tokyo.
