A gaming Community loses a Friend
Uvi as I new him, a great kid, much like my own, with such style and pizazz and well a lust for life, when i met him i even thought he was a bit older. We talked alot about life and family , he was Muslim living in the UK, i admired his knowledge and how he just made everyone we chatted with laugh.
We talked often, Uvi and I, he did the music for a web site for mine, loved music, would always pop on msn and tell me to listen to this or look at that. I wish I would of talked to him more, said more, learned of him more. He was a bright young man with such a future.. SOOOO smart, was incredible.
I had met this young man in an online gaming community. HE was funny and made jokes about everything. We all learned to love him and adore him as his personality was just uplifting. There were many times, even for one so young as Uvi, where I would be troubled about something and he would find some wisdom about it, and it always blew me away. I would say to him, how do you know so much Uvi for being so young, he would just laugh and go “idk, I just do” and laugh some more. HE was loved by so many of us, and to have him taken away, at such a young age, to not know his future his loves, his losses or children he might of had, is such a waste of alife. I try to find reasoning in it, and I cant.
I was in chat, but not paying attention doing my homework and a friend Sadi gave me the bad news. It hit me like a knife in my chest. Ugh i cant even explain the feeling, i denied it was him, and Sadi posted to me it was the same name, the same age and the same town. I closed my eyes and opened them again hoping it was a mistake, and i clicked the link.
And I cried
16 years old, and some God found it crucial to take him from his parents, his siblings, his family and friends. I CANT understand it. I’m trying. But i look at my own children and I wonder If i could be so forgiving, I know I couldn’t. As a mother i cry for his loss, and as a friend I cry for what was lost.
So many conversations not had, we both used to agree that the Internet was an amazing thing. Because it brought people to be friends of all different races and religious beliefs and ages, through out the world. he was so right. I’m so blessed that this young man had touched my life for so little time as he did. I can only hope his mother find some solice with the situation, and I’m unsure of their Muslim beliefs but I know his god had to of had better things for him in store.
you will be missed Uvi, your courage, your intelligence, you love of life, and the way you could make a chat room light up was amazing. Im glad to have called you my friend. And I know that if you had been my child, I would of been so proud of you, to have called you a son. There are very few people in this world with such a charm about them, you were one of them Uvi.
I had to wait a couple days before I blogged about this,. His death was so tragic and such a waste of a beautiful life, and Im having a hard time with closure on this, maybe because he was so young, and so talented, I just feel it wasn’t his time, and how unfair. If my children grow to be half the young man he was, they will be better off in life.
Forever in my heart Uvi <3
