Yasuo Namba

Year 6 of life after Popsy has concluded and year 7 begins. This how my lifespan has been defined: life with Popsy and life after Popsy. The lack of your guidance is glaring throughout all of us and the world. How you were right about us needing to support one another. This is the true meaning of life. Many of us have lost sight of this important mantra. I hope we can find our way back and prioritize this before it is too late. I´ve taken great comfort in reconnecting with Japan family and...

Brother, your youngest niece is in her senior year of college. Sometimes she says esoteric things that sound so foreign, like when you and Akong would chat, late at night. We miss you.

It would have been spectacular. Instead, we have the harsh cold reality of your physical absence. However, I was reminded that your love for us has not died and it will always be part of us. Thank you for this everlasting warmth.
