Sobia:

…straight from the heart…a bit short and incomplete perhaps...:)…

“…I know I’m too late now to thank you for …”…no, one is never too late to offer thanks and appreciation…even if the recipient cannot physically open and read your tribute…something tells me your thoughts comforted dana…

…t

ps: sammi...sajni`s `keyboard-print` absolve her of being twelve-head!

Dana must have been quite a person.
Read Tuesdays with Morrie. You might relate to it.

re: Sajni
Does anyone know who this poor woman whom 12 head keeps downloading pics of, is?
Is she an unknown model?

how wonderful and noble of you to admire and be able to give so much respect to ones teacher now thats called true character, definately a very touching and emotional piece of writing. wish we could all share such stories with such grace, i am sure we all have had such experiences but only few are talented enough to express them so simply and wonderfully:)

Many fine people tried to take me in their mentorship, but due to my longing for not settling in any land and not looking back, I ditched them all.

I look up to you Sobia. Your life is definitely going to be much more enriching and rewarding for others than mine.

sobia...
a nice tribute to your professor. It`s really lovely to have had a mentor like her, and a friend. We don`t always get to say things like this to people we`ve admired, loved and cared for until it is too late (or we don`t think about saying them).
Couldn`t help thinking about my nana who also passed away on the same date...different year...don`t think I ever told him how much I loved and respected him. Hopefully he knew. Perhaps Dana knew how you felt too. :-)
regards,
ana

You have MS in journalism from UIC. Is that what you are trying to say here?

.... I live in a world where sophisticated people dream of more in life than birth and death. I am but, a Paagal Insaan.
