I had come across many accidental surprise, found something new and a little happiness in every day, everyhere I went since the day I met Chris. I felt it was like time began to move. Everytime I saw him, talked and donate a few dollars to him. The more I talk with him, I was more relaxed and be filled with peace.
((I wonder if he would have found it annoying...))
Come to think about it later, my ambivalence which I had in days was gone, and my answer had already appeared in my mind "to live" on the day.
I promised him to treat dinner at the day before I go back to Japan. Because he was also busy, and I had to go to Vancouver to meet my freiend for a couple of days after the day. I could see my friend in Vancouver on the next day, but I had a little trouble at re-entry to US on the way back to Seattle.
I thought I might have retaliation for the wrong thinking about death or so on in Seatlle few days ago.

Ichinichi-ichizen
it is also Japanese expression, means do one good deed in a day

My father and granma often told me in my youth days.
"You should try to do one good deed in a day. Then You would be get happiness or shall be helped by them. When you have bad feeling or have something trouble, you should do good deed more than one for someone because you are not enough. I thought it was surely true.
When I remebered my childhood at the US border, I met a lady and talked with her for a while on the bus on my way back to Seattle. She also helped me and changed my life later without knowing.
She said that "You're a good man. If you keep doing nice to people, you will have miracle!" At that time I didn't think it would come to be true later...
I met him again as I promised to him and went to dinner before the day I leave for Japan. I'm a Japanese, and he is an American. I thought I can't see him any more because I can't travel to USA so often.
I wish I had asked him about his address and so on. But I didn't know he had his cell phone at the time and I was so engrossed in our conversation that I forgot to ask his contact number. I was so stupid! After the dinner, I made a few dollars donation and gave him my messeage. Then I aparted from him saying "Go for it" and Good bye!!
The next day, it was the day I leave for Japan.
I foregot the day was the beginning of Summer time, I headed to the airport (Alaska Airline) in a hurry. When I arrived at the airport terminal, surprisingly he had come to see me off. (I told him about the day when I leave) I was very happy and said thanks, but I didn't have much enough time to talk with him because of my flight. Saying goodbye, I went to check in counter.
But I could not hide my unthinkable surprise at the counter. The flight was canceld by air plane's problem and I had to stay one more day in Seattle...
"You will have miracle!..."
The word which the lady from Canada said had come true.

Almost all people would feel rushed when they can't leave on schedule. But there was no need to hurry for me because I am self-employed worker. It was not particularly affected on my work even though a coulple of days later. And yet it would be done everything on the internet and phones. (I'm sorry I'm lavish guy...)
When I went out to smoke after finishing the procedure, I suddenly got a call and e-mail from my hostfamily in quick succession. I couldn't meet them on the day because of their works and schedule. But I was very happy and suddenly tears had come out when I read it. At the moment, various music of my favorite artist's (Misato Watanabe) came flowing in my head. I hadn't actually heard of them in the airport, but it was like a flood of Sound? I can't explain well. Many music was played in my head at once. I felt I won't go back to Japan... In addition, continuous miracle was still going on.
After checking in at the hotel, I went back to the downtown to have my lunch at the West Lake Center. And then I found Chris again where we first met. He also noticed me. He was surprised and said to me "Why are you here now !?" I was also surprised.
Many surprising events occured in the day, and I promised him to treat a dinner again. We hadn't decided either the certain meeting time and place, because we had somoething to do each other in downtown and he also had to raise a donation there. Passing by each other in Downtown, I was waiting for him. But it was a little bit late to back to the place where he was raising money. When I arrived at the place, he was not there.
I was so sutpid again because I did not ask his address when we had dinner last time.
I couldn't keep my promise and see him that last day. I went back to Japan in the next day...
After going back to Japan, I sent my messages to friends to ask finding him in Seattle. But they couldn't find him. Now I'm very regret not to keep my promise, and could not say thank you to him.

Each event and encounter to people during my staying in Seattle may be linked toward to the miracle of the day 11 March 2012. Every people whom I met in Seattle, especially Chris and the lady taught me the meaning of life. I believe my father and brother from heaven let me meet him and the lady, and gave me these surprising events.
And returned to my home in Japan, I sent my message to the lady to say thanks. I thought I gave up to look for him, but I want to believe the miracle again as the lady returned to Japan for a while in April and I could meet her again. I decided to look for him again! It will be the end if I gave up!
I know it might be impossible to find one person in the world with few information. It's much more difficult to find him in all over the world than finding a lost pierce in a beach. But I want to believe the miracle!
I may lost many things or people in order to open public this message, but there is just one thing what never lose.
It is a mind of Japanese spirit of thanks.
I want to send it to him using the name of "Operation Tomodachi"
Although I don't know how long does it takes, I wish this movie or website would go around the world, and arrive to him someday.

Serendipity, the inspiration from accident was occoured on me.
From person to person, I wish it would get through in all over the world, like my logo's circle "Operation Tomodachi".
