    Wow.

    All of you, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Your love, warm wishes and thoughts really mean a lot to me right now.

    This is what TrannyWeb is all about...the sense of family we have here.

    ...this summer has really sucked big.

    My best friend's been transferred out of town, I've lost 60% of my income due to the financial mess, and now this.

    This is something I wish I didn't have to write. Goddess knows, I really didn't want to.

    It is with great heaviness of heart that I announce the passing of my daddy.

    You can read his eulogy here.

    Sayonara, Papa-sama. Yo no nokori, nazenara anata ha anata no heiwa o e ta. (Farewell, honored father. Rest well, for you have earned your peace.)

    Luv 'n hugs,

    Mina-chan

    My heart breaks for you. The loss of your daddy is so great. Having experienced the same, I know the pain of it. May this autumn for you be a season of new/happier moments!
    Always your friend...

    Minako,

    I envy you the great gift of a father who you remember with love. I deeply regret that this gift has come to you so soon. Through you, he continues to give of himself to the world.
