When I was in my teens, I folded exactly 1000 of these miniature paper cranes for my boyfriend. They were much smaller than in the picture above, tiny cranes, in all kinds of different colors.

My wish was that we would stay together for the rest of our lives. Romantic? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Really stupid.
But also really sweet. Wishes are there to be a little stupid and a little sweet, a little fulfilled, a little impossible…
