Today I went to the library and they had a bunch of paper cranes strung up all over the place. They also had a little table with a bunch of square paper so people could make their own.

I made a few... I put Molly's name and dates on one and Charlotte's on another, plus a couple other kids.

When Molly was born I wanted to fold 1,000 cranes for her and give them to her for her birthday to let her know how much I love her. Of course that takes a long time and things got kind of crazy and I never finished. So when she died I started folding more cranes, writing her name and dates on them, and leaving them in public places or handing them to strangers in hopes that it would make them smile or something. But almost everyone asked me if I was doing it because that's how they passed notes on Prison Break and that's kind of a weird association, so I stopped doing that.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know there's now a bird in a library in St. Louis in Charlotte's honor.
