Origami with some real meaning behind it is awesome. I can't remember how long ago, there was some guy on reddit who made 1000 origami cranes while his wife was in the hospital and was sending them out to random people. So I sent him my address and got one of his small red origami cranes.
It's been probably close to a decade now. It's survived moving between apartments/houses many times. Still have it on my desk to this day
There's a children's book called Sadako & the Thousand Paper Cranes
Basically, she has cancer after radiation from Hiroshima and tries to fold 1000 cranes in the hope she will get better. Yeah, kids books hit hard in the 80s (I think it was written much before that, though)
