1000
My 1000th post is to reference the story of Sadako & the Thousand Cranes.
Sadako Sasaki was the young Japanese girl who survived the Hiroshima bombing, but later died from radiation sickness when she was 12 years old. Sadako is a symbol of Peace throughout the World due to the strength she showed while fighting against her illness and folding hundreds of Paper Cranes. http://www.sadako.org/ |

I've seen her cranes in person in Hiroshima. Cranes are a symbol of good luck and longevity in Japan. During her struggle, she wouldn't stop making them. She soon started to ran out of paper, and so she started making them smaller and smaller - she made them so small that it takes a magnifying glass to see the details in some, or to see what it actually is. Pretty amazing.
