So this is real then, not one of your silly pranks, not a dream or some twisted story. It happened and its real. You left us, our world and you won't come back. I wake up wishing it was a twisted dream, but then I'm hit by the reality that you are gone. I hope you are in a better place now, I wish you nothing but the best. Wherever you are I hope you are happy. I still remember the first time you told me you were going to Germany, a dream come true for you. You were beaming, till then I had not seen you that happy and I was overjoyed, but now I wonder, would things have been different if you hadn't gone. I am going to stop myself there, because at the end of the day you were happy, you got what you have been talking about since the time I met you. You got to travel within the past year than you have been able to for the past 20 years of your life. You taught us to dream big, and never give up on them. I am proud of you and what you have achieved in your lifetime. The most amazing thing about your whole journey is the reason behind everything you did. You did everything to make your mother happy and make her proud. Her only child, only son took a different path to a different world. I wish your mother strength and courage to cope with your absence because it is truly heartbreaking to see you gone forever. I am going to miss all the times you annoyed me with your questions, and constant nagging. I am going to miss talking about random things about random people. I am going to miss punching you and laughing at your weirdness. I am going to miss your spontaneous, awkward ways. But most of all, what I am really going miss is your humble presence, you never failed to check up on me, never forgot to drop in a message (also, your random conversation starters). You never failed to have fun wherever you went, you always found a reason to be happy and made the best out of it. You were truly an amazing human being. Everything happened too fast and too soon, everyone thought you would bounce back, but that was before we heard about the severity of the damage that had happened. The world lost a gem. I guess everything happened for the best, maybe you deserved a much better life than the one you had. Until I see you again, take care of awkward self and never fail to be happy. You will always be in my heart. I miss you Chali <3
