'I will come again tomorrow': Boy, 9, desperately searches for missing family in Japan
David R Arnott writes:Toshihito Aisawa's father, mother, grandmother and two cousins are all missing. For days the 9-year-old has been desperately searching for them at evacuation centers in the Japanese city of Ishinomaki, holding up hand written signs pleading for information. On one is written their names, on the other the simple message "I will come again tomorrow."
