Toshiko Fukuda, a widow from Japan will publish a book containing a collection of her text messages to her deceased husband who was a victim of mesothelioma. A worker from a steel pipe factory, Toshiko’s husband Motoo was found to have the disease in 2006 which was brought by his exposure to asbestos. To cope with the loss and sadness of her husband’s death, she composed text messages for him whenever she wanted to talk to him and sent them through a cellphone she left at his home shrine. She wishes that people will learn more regarding the threats that go along with asbestos exposure through her book.
