“Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.” Rabindranath Tagore, Indian poet, writer and philosopher (1861-1941)
I am having a terrible and hard time composing this piece, especially since I am dedicating this to a very special friend who just passed away. My tears flow as I write this column. He was not only an ordinary friend but a best friend who was like my brother. Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher (384-322 BC), said of deep friendship: “What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.”
