Waleed J. Iskandar
(By A new friend, Wafa)

~ Friends who have never met ~

I'm a computer consultant who had to work an extra over-night shift, and I don't know how but through web search for some of my interests I found myself ending up at your website.
It is such a strange coincident to start knowing a person like Waleed after he has crossed to the other side of life. No one can ever imagine that he will get to know a person who has passed away, and yet feel that he relates to him in a way or feel the bond of friendship exists with a total stranger that he never has met.
Even though it’s coming late, but my deep condolences for your family loss, it is such a rare and unique even to find people who are like Waleed in this life. I can tell that I formed a clear impression about Waleed’s life, and personality through the family’s loving words and pictures.
The sun has raised it’s bright golden lines of light in the sky and yet I haven’t finish reading the Journal. Still I’m shocked to find myself have reached your website and feel myself have touched part of your life. I’ve experienced death before, and I know how hard it is… but I also know that not all people who pass away, really pass!
Some people never leave us forever.
Know that the love that you, and the family has given to Waleed has definitely made him the person he was, and know that you have offered him things not many can offer to their loved ones anymore; love, and honesty, which both leads to the purity & creativity of the soul.
You’ve said that Waleed have touched so many friends’ lives and I say: "he still does!"
If you’re curious how some one can know so much about a perfect stranger … then just know that some people are gifted with a deep look that can reach beyond the appearance, and know that an honest word, full of love is so much capable of drawing and translating the clear picture of anything, just like the way your words have told the story of Waleed!
Life is really strange.
