My little brother would have been turning 35 today. It is especially painful to acknowledge that tomorrow will mark a decade since we lost him. As time moves on and as we gain important new members of our lives we try our best to make sure we share Daanish’s spirit with them. In the past year-ish, we had the privilege of gaining a niece Dalia and nephew Ozzie. I cannot lie that it feels crushingly unfair that physically, he cannot share in that joy. It was in his nature to get on a baby’s level ☺️. I’d like to believe that by passing on the laughter, happiness and love he granted to us that our entry-level family members will feel his light and love. I hope that new friends also can feel how important he was to us. I’m passing on that love to you all - hope you feel it. 💗
(Don’t tell me if I made any grammatical errors 😘)
Today would have been my little bro’s 34th birthday, we all miss him terribly, this time of year is always tough. One of the best things about Daanish was how much he loved to make people laugh and have a good time. I know my memories get foggier as I get older but I do remember visiting Aligarh with my lil sibs: Daanish and Salmiyeh, spending hours doing fun totally regular normal stuff like riding on this charpai tied to a tree 🤣while I took advantage of having an enthusiastic model to shoot. 💗 09/12/87-09/13/12 miss you bro 🏂 I’ll be donating to @miryslist today in his memory as I know he would be eagerly doing everything in his power to support refugees and anyone in need really if he was still with us. I invite you all to join if you are able and are looking for a way to support others in such terrible times.
