Title: OT: I got the news yest that a friend of mine has died in an accident....
Post by: reannawrites on April 15, 2006, 04:00:52 pm: Hello to everyone,
I'm still in a bit of shock so please excuse me if anything i write comes across as incoherent....I was just doing regular errand work yesterday when I received a phone call from a friend who told me that our mutual good friend (his name was Arun) died in an accident in Nepal - he had gone there for a shoot. At that time, that was all she knew. Arun was 30....The memorial service was to be held today but his body is still in Nepal, to be brought back tonight...So it will be held tomorrow. I was just told that it was a car accident.
He was a dear friend...a wonderful and evolved soul. The reason why i'm writing about it here is...i just thought i should tell you, i might not be coming on the board for a couple of days....and the other thing is: We all know how fragile life is....it's when loved ones go so suddenly that we are painfully reminded....You always hope that the person knew how much you loved them...

The last conversation I had with him was a month ago, when he told me how much he loved Brokeback (I had been after him to go watch it.) I'm glad he was able to see it....

God bless him always.

Love you all,
Reanna

Please accept wishes of peace and comfort for you and the family and friends of this young man. You are right -untimely death is a powerful reminder to live each day as if it could be the last...no regrets of love unexpressed, gratitude unsaid, joy unlived.

From me, and all of us, to you...

Although we've never talked, I wanted to offer my condolences. Sometimes the surprises like these are harder to take because they're out of nowhere. I hope that you're surrounded by lots of love and support right now.

Post by: isabelle on April 15, 2006, 05:59:57 pm: Dear reanna,

My heart goes out to you. As you might have read in another thread, I lived through the same thing 15 years ago. I know how hard it is, how hard to believe it is at first too, which might be one reason you wrote to us about it - to convince yourself of the sad reality.
I will be thinking of you tomorrow, and for the next few days.
Isabelle.

Post by: Front-Ranger on April 16, 2006, 10:21:00 am: We will pray for him. How strange that he lost his life in such a place that has known great enlightenmenment but is going thru such a struggle right now. I hope his work there and elsewhere will be preserved.

Post by: reannawrites on April 18, 2006, 07:05:02 am: My friends..I would like to thank you for the condolences and wishes and hugs- they are much needed right now and I feel much better reading your messages.
I didn't really believe it when I first heard of it....it only hit home when I saw his body at the funeral.

At his memorial service, I saw how many lives he had touched and what a truly kind soul he was...everyone spoke about how he was such a giver..and it's true, I can think of countless examples. He was the first person to give me a hug or an encouraging word or crack silly jokes to cheer me up. When we barely knew each other, he noticed that I always wore a bracelet of beads (they're my memento from Korea) around my right wrist, so on his next trip abroad, he got another one for me...a beautiful green beaded bracelet that is on my wrist now.

He was a practicing Buddhist and had spent a lot of time at Dharamsala in Nepal earlier...One of the speakers at the service said that it might not make sense to us but it just might be that Arun had completed his circle of life and it was his time to go a higher better place and he could help a lot of people from there....I think that brought a lot of comfort to his family. His sister spoke about how in the past few months he had been the most serene he had ever been...he had been striving to be at peace with himself for a long time....I really hope he attained it before going. I think he did.

They are going to spread his ashes in the mountains of Nepal.

I will never ever forget how special he was. He is our angel now.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you...A big hug from me. I love you all.
