Beautiful writing here,

especially since it originated directly from the heart.

I just hope and pray that all of us who knew Waleed, and those who read this article and get to know a little about him, pray for him and keep him alive by celebrating the life he lived. As I mentioned in the article "Good men have the fewest years." Waleed indeed was a good man and so much more.

Anum, he has not vanished, just not physically seen, he is still with us.

I am saddened by your loss; and our's. One
good thing I have seen people in the West is they do something to give meaning to the lives so tragically lost in their prime.

At the very least:

i'm sure waleed would be reading this too. things u werent ever able to say him, he knows now.
everytime i used to leave the conversation without telling him or saying bye, the next second he used to message on my cell saying '...n vanished anum was no-where to be found'. a subtle smile n i used to go back instantly. i now say this day and night but.....
anyway, miss u.
