I just received news that Wenbo passed away recently. I was fortunate enough to get to know him while making the photo scrapbook for K's birthday present. He was K's best friend in BMT, and one of the nicest, sweetest guys I ever know. Unlike most of K's other friends whom I had to constantly bug to get the photos from, Wenbo- or Bobo, as I prefer to call him went out of his way to pass me the photos. Even though it was the first time I was meeting him, it felt as though I was meeting an old friend; his warmth and friendliness made me feel so comfortable, and happy. He was the ultimate nice guy that everyone would gush about. The evidence of it is currently sitting on my table and has been sitting on my table for about 1.5 years now. Shortly after the birthday scrapbook was compiled, Bobo went to Australia for a holiday. Upon his return, he bore gifts for K, and when we meet him to pick up the gifts, he surprised me with chocolates and a mug. They were simple inexpensive gifts, but I was touched, because I hardly even knew him. Every time I look at the mug, I never fail to smile because it reminded me of his big megawatt grin, and how he was so positivity and so full of life. He literally glowed. He was training to be a doctor, and would have been a fantastic one. It is no cliche to say that his passing is a great loss. I can't say more, and I don't know what more to say. The good always die young. And Bobo is definitely one of them.
You'll be dearly missed Bobo.

I'm currently in a state of shock. Every time I receive news of a death, my heart immediately turns cold, and my chest tightens. I feel an impending asthma attack, but it's not something the inhaler can clear. I can't cry, I can't feel, I can't do anything. Right now, I'm kicking myself for not going to meet him the other day when he and K met up for lunch. I said I was too busy and that I wanted to give them alone time with each other.
Now is not a good time to lose control. There's the paper that I have to finish, and errands to run, and things to settle. Our life doesn't stop just because someone elses does.

When I lay my head to rest tonight, I will count all my blessings in life, and thank the big guy(s) up there for everything and everyone that I have.
You'll be dearly missed Bobo.
