Dear Ajara,
The news of your passing came as a shock to me today and I’m devastated
to hear it. I can’t seem to find the words to express my sadness, and I can’t
even begin to wrap my mind around it. I can’t believe the world lost such a
beautiful soul. You deserved to live a long, happy and fulfilling life, but you
were taken too soon. I’ll miss our outings and the fun hangouts we had.
From almost freezing ourselves waiting in line for 3 hours just to see an
exhibit in NYC, to trying to be amateur photographers and models at the
park, to making funny hats using towels at the spa. You made even the
most mundane settings fun with your presence and our conversations. I
hope these memories made you as happy as they made—and continue to
make—me. I remember how you would help me learn new vocab words
from my books during lunch in middle school, since your reading level was
so much higher than mine. I always admired your intelligence and knew
you would make it far. You had achieved so much already and were still on
your way to bigger and better things. Ever since I met you, you were
nothing but fun, caring, and generous. Your happiness and positivity were
infectious, and I’m thankful that I will have our memories to cherish and
look back on. Although I’ll still miss you very very much, I hope you’re in a
better place, and I’m grateful you don’t have to suffer any longer.
You were the sweetest, kindest, most optimistic person I knew, and I was
devastated to even hear that you were sick. You were, and continue to be,
always in my thoughts and prayers. The purest and kindest people are
always the ones taken from us, and it was my honor to even know you—let
alone be lucky enough to call you my friend. Rest in Peace Ajara, I will miss
you more than you know, but I am grateful that your memory will forever
live in my heart.
Until we meet again!
Love,
Myrna
