Jonas

Yesterday another person I loved died. An ocean away. And I think. Why?

I know I was lucky. To know Jonas. For him to love me. For me to love him.

Cross cultural boundaries and from different sides of the world. Sometimes my friends in Haiti feel like a dream. 

Jonas. You were joyful. Hilarious. Optimistic. And so, so kind. 

The hardest tasks never kept you down for long. Day after day, your patience and willingness to improve the lives of others shown in your unwavering smile and your mischievous eyes. I will miss your laugh. I will miss your heart. I will miss your hugs. 

Oh dear friend. I love you and I miss you.
