The Star in Japan: Hideaki Akaiwa must ‘keep looking’.

Akaiwa found his wife on Saturday and a visitor remarked the reunion must have been an emotional one.

“She is very important for me,” Akaiwa said, advising an interpreter he wasn’t interested in answering more questions on the matter.

After his found his wife, it was back into the water to search for his mom.

He found her on Tuesday in her home. This isn’t a big city and that was the first place he thought to look, naturally, but the debris and flooded streets make any movement taxing.

“She was very much panicking,” Akaiwa said. “There were rushing waters all around still and she was trapped in the upper part of her house.”

 

Quite uplifting to know that this man will be out there still looking.
