one of my husband’s dearest friends, babar, passed away a couple of days ago in pakistan. they had been friends since 9th grade. we’re lucky that babar visited us over the summer and we got to spend some time with him. he was soft-spoken and kind, polite to the nth degree and devoted to his friends. my thoughts are with his family, especially his mother who has survived the death of her husband and both her sons. may she have the strength to bear this immense loss and may babar rest in peace. inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.
