Kuma`s 3rd Death Day

October 5th is a day to celebrate Kuma's birthday. Then the next day, October 6 is a paralysing reminder of her death day, the day she was killed. One day she is born and the next day she dies. There were 17 years in between, but what do they mean today?

 In between birth and death we had 17 years with Kuma. A miniscule blip in time but a forever life changing ripple on me and the rest of the world. What does 17 years mean?

I can recount what happened from October 5, 1998 to October 6, 2015, the time that Kuma had in this world.
