Though seasons are fleeting, there are friendships that seem to last several lifetimes. It saddens me to see that the trees that once bore vibrant cherry blossoms or green leaves now display patches of orange, yellow, and reds ready to float down from their branches. Even when sheets of snow cover the ground or crisp Autumn leaves crunch beneath our shoes, I'm glad that I spent my time with all of you. The otters may disagree with my choice of crewmates all things considered, but I'm sure in time they will come to accept change. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being another (and human!) family to me.
