Tributes

Shauna adored irises. The night she passed, I ordered some iris bulbs online to plant in her memory. I waited for months for them to arrive and figured they were lost in the mail, when they suddenly appeared in our mailbox on my birthday – a final present from my sister. This is my inked tribute to Shauna. Shout out to my sistah from another mistah, Kimbra, for freehanding my design and turning it into something even more special. It says, “Unnee,” the Korean word for older sister.

Shauna of Orenco
Patron Saint of Brats

Assist us mercifully, O sister
In these my supplications
which i make before thee:
Help me to continue, O sister
To spread the word of the brat
That others may be succoured by the
Multifarious examples I have presented
In these, my annals of penance and exultation.

Amen, Ramey.

My final brat attack.
