I used to have a friend, Namitha, in India, that emailed me often about her life, family, love of photography, and spiritual awakening, along with a ton of questions I didn't mind answering.
Sadly, and suddenly, her life ended too soon. Several years ago, only in her forties, she developed a serious infection and her husband found her dead in her bath. It was another friend of hers who wrote me on Facebook to tell me of this heartbreaking tragedy, because she knew I'd want to know. It was a shocking reminder of how precious life is and how quickly it can be over. This is why we should never assume.
I still think about her now and then. She was a very beautiful soul. One day, about five years ago, she wrote a lovely ending in her email. I would like to share it with everyone and say I feel the same to all who stood by me over the years. She said: thank you for being there like the ocean.
