Michiko Okamura said it feels like yesterday.
The 95-year-old Okamura lost her son and daughter in the Aug. 6, 1945, atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
"Next year, it's going to be 60 years since they died. But to me it all seems to have happened yesterday," said Okamura, who on Sunday was the oldest person to take part in the government-sponsored ceremony in Tokyo marking the 59th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II.
