This is incredibly hard to write, but last week, Illy passed away. She brought so much warmth and kindness into my life, even when she was ill.
Thank you for showing her love over the years, you gave her so much purpose and joy. Things won't feel the same without her.
And the fact that 'white people' originally came on a boat from Europe to these lands, we can deport all of them too since they've always been the illegal immigrants.
BREAKING NEWS:
Donald Trump says he will end automatic citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants.
Since Trump's family is of German descent, and not Native American, we can deport him and his family to Germany.
Rest in peace to the manga legend Akira Toriyama. The artistry and monumental impact of Dragon Ball will live on in the hearts of fans and creators for generations to come.
but this loss weighs heavy on me because you helped me get through the worst moments of my life, as well as everyone else in this world and my generation. To say goodbye is hard, but knowing you'd live on forever with your work reminds me that you're still with us.
Growing up, I was always bullied or judged for my appearance in school, and I had no escape from it since bullies were everywhere for me - even my own family bullied me - and it had ruined me mentally and emotionally. I remember one day, after showing up home with my eyes red (c)
That's when I started getting into Dragon Ball and Toriyama-sensei's world and what inspired me to write and study Creative Writing. So, for that, I #ThankYouAkiraToriyama, for saving me with your work. I never met you personally, and you most certainly never knew I existed, (c)

Toshio Furukawa, the voice of Piccolo, reacts to Toriyama's passing.
"The manager brought the news of Akira Toriyama's passing, saying,
'Mako-san has been informed already, now I would like to inform Toshio-san of his passing...'
The first thing that came to my mind was, 'How must Mako-san have felt?'
Dragone Ball is her life's work, and Goku is her alter-ego. Goku means much more to her than Piccolo for me!
We last met at the screening of Dragon Ball Super: SUPER HERO just before the release...
I extend my deepest condolences to his family."
Note: Mako-san is Masako Nozawa. That's what Furukawa calls her.
I just remembered this Japanese commercial for DBZ: Kakarot and how perfectly it reflects how much Toriyama's work really affected so many people's lives.
May he forever rest in peace.
Like many of you, our hearts are heavy today with the news that Akira Toriyama-sensei has passed away.
We treasure the many beloved stories and characters he gave to us. May his legacy live on through our shared memories and future inspiration.
