Lucy's birthday poem--how lovely--truly poetic and heartfelt. I'm sure
Daddy loved it too. Do you know the story of Hidako and the 1000 paper
crames? After the atom bombing of her Hiroshima home, Hidako heard the
tale that if one folded 1000 paper crames, she would get a wish. She
was suffereing from radiation sickness, and wanted to get well, so started
folding the crames. She died before reaching 1000, but her family completed
them. Ever since, the cranes have been a special symbol, and the memorial
in Japan to the children killedin the bonbing is literally covered with many
thousands of cranes folded by people all over Japan and visitors, as a sign
of hopes for peace.
