1,000 origami cranes and a wish

Lauren's in for her bone marrow biopsy this morning. Before going in, she finished making her 1,000th origami crane, a goal she had to be granted a wish. Here's her words from FB this morning:

An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. Some stories believe you are granted eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise) and is said to live for a thousand years: That is why 1000 cranes are made, one for each year.... ‪#‎FUCKLEUKAEMIA‬ ‪#‎FUCKCANCER‬ ‪#‎makeawish‬ ‪#‎1000origamicranes‬

This was one of her goals on 100things.com.au - #21. Make 1,000 origami cranes - tick

On her Pre-Operative Assessment form this morning for the bone marrow biopsy, love her answer to the question of 'any other serious illness'? Her response:
"ALL Leukaemia (although there shouldn't be anything there now - (fingers crossed)." I look forward to her being proven correct!!
