This story, Eric, is part of it and I loved it too. You are right, the ending was just beautiful. <br /><br />Congrats on your award! Now what is genmai tea? Is it also green tea? I am slowly learning to like green tea but I have to have it with another flavor in it. If it's just plain green tea I don't like it much.Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30771807.post-49096090502587147912010-06-03T14:58:41.418+08:002010-06-03T14:58:41.418+08:00Sandy - Thanks for your kind words, Sandy!
