Mandyy, thanks for the pictures of the lovely princess. I know that pictures can be deceiving, but she truly does look well. I really hope that her recovery is going well and that soon she will be healthy enough to resume full official duties again. I've missed her (as I'm sure have her fans in Japan and around the world).
