Dear Nippon,

This is in remembrance of all the departed souls in last year's great tragedy. I too was part of that experience and i bow humbly to all who bore it with a brave mind.

Nippon, Your immense energy, strength of spirit, persistence and commitment has helped you to overcome your turmoils. It not only speaks of the iron spirit of a nation but shows to the world that 'life is a blessing' even in the midst of unimaginable hurdles. You and your people have shown the world how to do the real "gambatte"...

I am so proud to have enjoyed this wonderful country and its people for 7 years and even though i am far away from you now, i miss you very very much. I am always looking forward to joining you again and hope that shall be soon.

Till then Nippon will always have a special place in my heart....
Take care Japan and always keep smiling....

Love,
Soniya Billore
