Dear Ajara,
Today has been a terrible day for me. Frankly, I questioned a lot of things in life today as soon as I heard the news. Because, I do not know why such a thing has happened to someone like you. I always defined you as the purest, strong and optimistic person or friend that one can ever ask for. You were that person to my sister, Nawoon. When you two spent hours upstairs in Nawoon’s room laughing and talking, I really envied such friendship every time. Today, I thought of so many things that you two share. I honestly feel like you will walk into my house asking, “How’s everything with you, Nalee?” with your beautiful smile like you did last time I saw you. I feel like it was yesterday. Ajara, the pain that I feel today is unbearable thinking you had to go through such struggle. However, I really want you to know that you were always in our prayers day and night. I also realized, how you really are a big part of my family and my sister’s lives. You were always there during my sister’s important life events. I am terribly saddened to even think that you may not physically be there with us in the future. But I am also very grateful that you were there to share so many memories with her and us. Ajara, I never got a chance to tell you this, but you really boosted my self-esteem on my humor. You were the ONLY one to laugh at my lame jokes that my sister didn’t even bother to pay attention to. I still cannot believe that you are not with us anymore but our memories of you will always be in our hearts.
p.s. the picture I am attaching was taken by me in 2019. It was a hot summer day and I caught you and my sister on the deck trying to escape from the sunlight and heat. I thought you two looked very cute! Sorry, I actually took this picture without your consent but I know you would understand.
Love,
Nalee
