I just heard of your passing from Abigail. I am in shock and frightened even because I had been thinking about you so much recently and what if I do not get to talk to you again and something happens and imagining over and over such a scenario where I am contacted with the news of your death. I want to write more, something more proper later but I just had to say something now, even in the public forum since I will never be able to talk to you again. I just wished I could have reached out more and that you had felt it easier for you as well to me. It was like fate going into the classroom that day I knew you were the person to meet, to teach and guide me in my photographic journey over 20 years ago and I always felt you understood that also. I'm sorry I did not live up to your expectations of believing I was going places. I'm sorry that I couldn't reach out. And I will always regret and be haunted by this even though I know you wouldn't have wanted me to feel that way, but it's the way we feel when people make us feel so deeply. We love people even if one day they will leave in some form and we will be haunted by it, we love in spite of this reality, and I love you very much still though I never said that to you and I always will.
