23 years ago today, Abdul Abdurahman was born. What can I say about him? Well for one thing, he was definitely one of the coolest, nicest, wisest, most considerate people it has ever been my pleasure to know. I met him at Mesa Community College, through a mutual friend. Since then my life changed completely for the better. Granted, I met him at a very hard time in my life. I was dealing with a lot of stuff and trying to find myself at the same time...I was around that age. He helped me through some of the toughest crap in my life. He was the one person that never deserted me. And then, on July 25 2008, he was killed in a car accident on his to Washington D.C from Florida. I can't even begin to describe the depths of my despair. He died at age 20. Today is his birthay.
I miss him a lot. I often think of him...especially when times are hard, because he always knew just how to help. I have many great memories of him. I had a bunch of funny videos on my old phone that I ended up having to delete because my phone was having problems. I really wish I still had them. He was an amazing person overall. And the world is that much worse for losing him. I really wish he was here so we could celebrate the day of his birth, but I'll spend today remembering his life and the impact it had on mine. I love you, Abdul. You're the best friend a girl could ever have. Better than diamonds. :-)
