To a cousin I never met....
In such a widely connected universe, and one with so much differences too, I was opportuned by providence to have caught a glimpse of your living self. I was especially excited on finding out that we're cousins and I much eagerly looked forward to the day "time and chance" would make enough provision for us to meet.
It never occurred to me that the next news event would be this recklessly saddening news of your departure. I never want to know this reality. Abie, it's indeed very painful to hear that you're no more.
I see your calm-natured self and smiles from across the miles on my android phone's screen and it created just enough stories about your person. I was already well pumped about how I'd disclose the interesting observations I've made about you from interacting with your social media handle. So sad I'd have to carry on with these untold stories for the rest of my Earth's stay.
I wish I could have said goodbye to you, but nobody saw this coming...not even the strangest of coincidences could have lent enough insight about the sad event of your passing.
We'll cry, we'll mourn, we'll have rooms in our hearts that your pictures will never escape. Our consolation is one thing- that in living, you truly lived. You lived a hero, and you left a victor. Death never conquered you, cause the one whose daughter you are had already defeated it.
We know the Angels up there will be glad to have you join them, though it remains a painful loss to the earth and all your loved ones here.
Rest on, Cousin.
