When the class of 2006 died in February, we were really, really sad. Before they died, my sister Eve had taught my mom and me how to fold origami cranes. We had also read the story of Sadako and the Thousand Cranes, which said that if you fold 1,000 cranes you will get one wish. We all decided to fold 1,000 cranes and that our wish would be that the Whooping Cranes would come back to the wild in eastern North America.
