Wasn't the lantern ceremony on Memorial Day very touching and special? Every year we look forward to this ceremony because it honors those no longer with us and gives people the opportunity to show their love and respect for those gone. We cry every year because the ceremony is so full of love and sadness but the special thing is that we are among the thousands who also feel the same as you do. This lantern tradition brings together people from all over the world and we all become one together. The atmosphere of sharing our grief is truly healing. I'm so glad that you were able to experience this special time and share it with others! Mahalo!
