Today, we got the following message through reiko from HIRO himself!!
“Thank you for the wonderful gifts, the beautiful flowers and especially the
heartfelt messages. I read all of the messages and I received a lot of love
and energy from them. I will keep running during my 48th year!”
-hiro-
Yes, folks, he read all of our messages, and gave us the reply this year too!
Thank you, again, to Hiro and everyone who participated in the birthday project!
Misty

I'm so glad you posted this. I was afraid the reply as Reiko listed it would be lost in the long b-day thread on SHIN.
