Taasiseseisvumispaev

National holiday. In 1991, Estonia restored its independence. The day is marked by the flag on Pikk Hermann, by speeches, by concerts, by the quiet knowledge that the country came back from something that tried to erase it. The singing mattered. The unity mattered. The refusal to stop being Estonian mattered.
