I'm so humbled to be highlighted in this manner. Thank-you, @liverussian, from the bottom of my heart for this wonderfully worded and researched shoutout.

I hope to keep writing hakiu's (among other pieces) that spark an emotional reaction and bring a smile to others.

@Vdux - this is awesome and thanks for posting it! Keep up the excellent work on your contest, and I'll be sure to keep entering :D
