I left work early yesterday after receiving a phone call from Rahul's funeral.

Just hearing about it shut me down completely. The time alone at home really helped. Tears and prayers leave you with an understanding that he's in a better place and that God is watching over him. Takes away the guilt I was feeling for not being able to be at the funeral to hear all the kind words of friends and family. I'm feeling much better now though, functioning a lot easier instead of remaining in neutral or on some automatic conveyer built on an assembly line. We'll all miss you Rahul.
