Today I am in Hiroshima, the site of the first atomic bomb explosion during WWII, visiting the memorial created to recount and remind us about that terrible day in history. This stop has extra meaning because. my mom Jane Milliken dedicated most of her adult life to fighting to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. As I child I would fold endless origami cranes for her protests and gatherings, so my first day in Japan I bought some extra special handmade origami paper to make cranes to place in her memory. I also summoned her up to experience the museum with me. May many carry on and keep fighting against the use of weapons like these! It these uncertain times we need to fight even harder for peace.
