I came back to my office to work on my abstract for ICLEE around 3:00 am after a part-time job and found that one of my friends from OSU had passed away last Saturday by email from another friend of mine in grad school. This was the second time for me to be known about this kind of sad news by email. There is nothing I can do for him except for crying in from of the computer. That was the exactly same thing I did last time. I do not know, of course no body knows, why he and his wife has to face the sorrow like this. He was, I am very regretful to use the past tense when talking about him, one of the kindest persons I had ever met. He always smiled and took care of me when I needed a help. I just hope his daughter will know someday what a kind gentleman her father was and how much he loved her. I am sunk in grief again.
