@Reinier: Yes, what happened at Hiroshima was horrible and horrific. Fortunately, the war ended shortly after this in the Pacific and this area has experience peace since then. But, work is still needed around the world to reduce the number of nuclear weapons we have.

@Benjamin: Glad you enjoyed this slideshow & story!

What an amazing set of photos, it was very beautiful. I loved how the camera captured their smiling faces and it brought warmth to my heart. Motherhood is such a beautiful thing. The story of mother who was a survivor of an atomic bomb in 1945, held a strong powerful message. It is touching to know that she wishes to share peace with her children and their children’s children. That is definitely a message we should all share. Thank you for this great post.

@Michelle: Thanks! The top photo was a reflection from the Children’s Peace Monument in Hiroshima. We were lucky that we arrived just as the light was perfect. Glad you enjoyed the slideshow with all the mothers – it’s one of my favorites.

@Tiffany: And thank you for your thoughtful comment! We are continually surprised and inspired by the people we’ve met on this journey, especially those who have been through so much and often have very little but are yet so giving. Safe travels with your loved one!

@Sutapa: Hiroshima has been one of the highlights of the trip. The city has a good, almost optimistic feel to it – may sound odd, but that’s how we felt. And yes, the museum is great. Sobering, but important to see.
