I haven't been on this blog in nearly six years but in all that time, my love for Astro never wavered. It may be insignificant in the grand scheme of things but it felt important to me to say this here.
I still can't put into words the sinking, hopeless feeling in my chest. Astro genuinely changed my life in so, so many ways. I would not be the person I am if not for them.
Binnie, thank you for everything. Thank you for being a bright light even in the darkest times, for your contagious laughter, for your hard work. I hope you know that you were loved by so many, so intensely. You left such a positive impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing you and we will carry you in our hearts forever.
My beloved Aroha community, thank you all for the kindness you've always shown me. I hope you are all able to take the time you need to process and heal.
May he rest in peace and his memory last forever.
