Hamzi

Ya Hamzi, how I miss you.
You're death still shakes me to my core
It's strange how we forget those that have passed
and yet their memory is all around us

I remember I spent more time taking breaks with you during study periods at GMAC
than actually studying. I loved your stories and how foolish and goofy you were. You were the only real true male friend I think ever had. You were such an amazing person, a bright light. You made everyone laugh. You weren't the brightest tool in the shed, but your charisma made up for that. Your death came too soon, but the manner of your death makes you lucky. Allah wanted you, He often wants those who are closest to Him, thats how I see it anyway. You are shaheed and so there are times when I feel as if you are beside me, or watching me while I'm working, laughing at me when I try to scold the students. You knew I could never do it with a straight face, and still I can't. I am honoured to have known you and I hope you do visit me often.  I miss you Hamzi, so much. Some day soon inshAllah I will see you again. Until then, inshAllah, memories of you will always come to me.

Yours always
Foof
