This page brings together the memories of people who have been part of my life and my journey in kinbaku. Some I loved deeply, others I worked and created with, and some shaped me simply through their presence. Each left something behind that stays with me.
These words are not just about saying goodbye. They are my way of honoring who they were, the moments we shared, and the ways they influenced me. Their spirit remains a part of my rope, my path, and my life.
These people have created ripples in abundance. Remember them.
