Hiromi gave  birth  to her son at the Ishinomaki Red Cross hospital on March 11,  2011, the  same day the massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the   northeastern coast of Japan. In a fortunate twist of fate, her husband   Kenji Sato, a wiry descendant of fishermen in his coastal hometown of   Minamisanriku, took time off from work to see their third child, Haruse,   born at the hospital in the nearby port city. A year on, the Satos,  who  all survived the tsunami are planning a quiet birthday with some  cake  and ice cream for the child who, his grandmother Kazuko insists,  "was  born to save us". </blockquote>
