Over time I began an inadvertent tradition of sorts of doing a photoshoot of my close friends to make little 'totems', as Tomiko called them, for each of those friends at my bar in SL. I realized I had never done one specifically for Tomiko, so that was put on my to-do list.

I built the set in this photo for that shoot, showed it to her, and told her we would get it done soon. Soon became next weekend, then became one more weekend...and now it's too late.

This is the best I could do, cher. I'm sorry. You deserved more. I'm not sure this heartache will ever go away.

I have not the words to write, a farewell to you tonight.
