On days like these I think about Nakul. Although I suppose that's every day. I still don't understand the gravity of his death nor feel absolved of it. It still hurts, though I suppose we all have found some peace with it. At the same time, I'm proud because his life saved many more.
And I suppose I'm lucky, even though it's perhaps the most guilt one could feel, that his death has taught me what life is all about - family, community, service, integrity, grace/faith*. All of the things that are bigger than us, individually.
I miss you, brother.
