We had 3rd Buddhist memorial service
to pray for  his happiness in heaven in August of 2008.

We hesitated at first whether or not we should reedit his webpages and open his images in the
archive of the Internet again. But as his 3rd-Obon(Buddhist-service) comes near our intention
is getting strong and decided to edit his unopened photos with us in this world faithfully to keep
the words with him.
(当初はインターネットアーカイブで再公開することをためらっていましたが、彼の三回目のお盆が
近づくにつれて、
彼との約束を守り未公開写真も加え、この世での彼の足跡をきちんと編集して、
たましいを迎えてやろうと心に決めたのです)


Someone ever said we should forget him nice and quick.
We would not forget the happiness living with him even if we also had a time to go over the rainbow.We would chase his images and find him there,then.(彼のことはさっさと忘れてしまえと言う人もいますが、彼と過ごした幸せな日々を忘れることは、私達自身が彼岸へ行くときを迎えてもないでしょう)



It might be Dad who could not forget
Gyahsim's living image forever as you can
see him like this.                                →

The kindness delivered from the U.S.A.
When we were in the deep sorrow after his death we received a DVD from American friends of his, Steve san and Judy san, who often visited his website and friendly encouraged Gyahsim. The DVD showed his photos taken out from his site accompanied by the beautiful background-music which was perfectly matched to the story of Gyahsim's living images and cured us so much.(私達がしょんぼりしていたとき、彼のアメリカの友人から届いた一枚のDVD、きれいなBGMと共に映し出された彼の映像は、私達を大変癒してくれました)

We had a sad news that his niece in Melbourne also passed away soon after his death.
Actually we were planning to visit Melbourne to meet Kara who closely resembled Gyahsim. However Mr.Young,the keeper of Kara,mailed to us that she suddenly passed away caused by a respiratory problem one morning.This news gave us a shock also and a damage to our motivation to fly 5000miles for Melbourne.(ギャーシムの面影を求めて、メルボルンまでカラに会いに行くつもりでしたが、飼い主のヤングさんからのメールで、彼女が呼吸障害で死んだことを知り、8000kmの旅を断念しました)

Gyahsim has now been sleeping in the grave seen from our living room.
Gyahsim used to be a type of the dog feeling alone lonesome while he wanted us not to stay so closely all the time.To be honest he must have been fairly selfish. And therefore we installed his grave at the corner of our garden where is not so far but seen near from us in the living room.(ギャーシムは寂しがりやのくせに、べたべたされることが嫌いな、わがままなワンコでありましたので、遺骨は庭の隅っこの居間から見えるところへ埋葬してやりました)
