I will write peace on your wings & you will fly all over the world

“I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world. This is our cry, this is our prayer: peace in the world.” – Sadako Sasaki (佐々木 禎子),

Sadako Sasaki was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945. Less than ten years later she was diagnosed with leukemia. There’s a Japanese saying that when one folds 1,000 cranes, they could make a wish that would come true. She only folded 644 before dying, but her friends finished the 1,000 and buried them with her.
