Wow. We're here. The end. This year went by so
fast. This time last year I spent all day watching her videos after reading her announcement. I was crying buckets. It's a bit funny, now, because even though it's officially over, I'm not crying. (At least not yet) Maybe I've moved on to acceptance
Ah, Namie. You're an inspiration and a legend. I'm so very happy that you're doing what you feel you need to do and I thank you for being such a big part of my life. You were my childhood. And you helped me through the Godawful teenage angsty years. My only regret of being your fan is that I never got to see you live. But that's okay. I own all your blu-rays. I can go back in time whenever I want to that way.
Thank you, Namie! We love you! And we'll miss you!!!
