Thank you for sharing those, yah. A beautiful reminder that life goes on.
Indiana has daffodils, crocuses and tulips, plus the wild violets are starting to appear. They're my favorites. Even though some people see them as a weed.
However, we are doing recovering slowly. I think many years to be necessary (probably longer than 20 years) for complete recovery.
*BTW, Obitsu said they planned to release 11cm body in the end of April. (Check the picture in toppage of their website. The news is written in Japanese language. however, I think the numbers of first time are very small.. )
