Letter to japanese surviver

Dear Mr Doi
my consoledences to you, you lost your family in the earthquake. This must have been a grave loss to you, for wounds of the heart are hard to heal. However, no amount of grieving will do any good, it hardly helps to bring them back to life. Also, if they are watching from the heavens, your grieving will also cause them to grieve as well. You should be strong, live on, make them proud that altough you have suffered such a great deal, you have the ability to endure through it all. No life is perfect, each comes with its own sets of pain and enjoyment. Life is fragile and precious, so you should cherish and appreciate it. I am sure that your family, although they have passed on, would want you to do so as well. Your happiness theirs, your sadness is also theirs. If you realise your dream, focus on it, I believe that your efforts will not come to nought. If you realise your dreams, I am sure that your family will be proud of you. Your children will be proud to have a successful father, and your wife will be happy to see her husband happy. Your ancestors will be happy that you have brought glory to their family name, and your friends will be happy, envious of your success. Grieving and sadness cannot remove itself or drive itself away from your heart;only true happiness can do that as the chinese saying goes, "the worst bankrupt comes when you have lost all hope, and life's greatest mistake is to abandon oneself"
