In the time of bad news coming from Japan, how about good one

We are all worried about friends and/or family in Japan. Worried about a possible nuclear meltdown. Some sites are gone and some websites are not working properly where I am. Thought a good story from Japan is needed.

I find this story hope-inspiring. It �s truly great news.
I have to object to calling it a miracle, however. It seems extremely inappropriate. A miracle performed by whom or by what? Calling it a miracle also seems to totally disregard the lack of miracle which failed to save the thousands who have already tragically passed away as a result of the devastation brought by the earthquake and tsunami, not to mention the health risks posed by radiation leaks.
I find calling such welcome nuggets of hope "miracles" insulting to the memory of the people who did pass away. Where was their miracle? A higher power saw fit to let thousands of people die suddenly, tragically and violently but we give it credit for sparing one baby? It �s fine to feel relief and hope at reading stories like this, but please, let �s stop calling them miracles.
