... when my father died, I did not understand how to feel. I was devastated, blinded by my own rage. I blamed others for how helpless I felt, ignorant to the fact that I have so much more than so many in the world who suffer incredible losses every day.
You allowed me to help you. To assist you in recovering some of what you lost. Even if I'm unable to bring baba back to life, I now have a friend like you by my side to make me stronger. It still hurts, but I am better for it.

I'm happy to be your friend though. Whenever you need one.
