I haven’t spoken with Amir in a long time. It will be our tenth year reunion from high school this year. The last time I saw him was sophmore year in college. But he still makes me smile every time I think of him. Amir, I have never met anyone like you. There is only one Amir. I thank you for being you. You drew people in, wanting to hear more, feeling safe, feeling daring. I can even hear your voice and the funny way you chose to annunciate the words as they flew out of your mouth or carefully exhibited themselves. Do you remember you played the Shylock from Shakespeare- I don’t remember what for- but you were very convinicing. For me you will always be Amir- and that means so much.
I hope Hashem is taking good care of you.
