That Moment of Silence

*Throwback Thursday: I’m slowly (very slowly) going to be bringing my old posts to this blog.

Today we will observe a moment of silence at 2:46pm. 

Last year March 11th was a Friday and I was waiting for the subway with my boss at Nishi Shinjuku Station, planning to head to a forum, when the alarmingly loud buzzer sounded, signalling an earthquake to come. And it did.

Last Friday, I was once again standing at the same station with a co-worker, heading to the same forum that I ended up never reaching last year. This year, the subway came rolling into the station and we got on, heading to the forum.

But my heart was beating a mile a minute.
