ketki.. my angel!!

Friends with whom we have shared our sorrows and our joys become a part of our life story.
If a long time friend expires, it's as if part of your story has vanished. Ketaki was a part of my life story, my best buddy. Someone who actually was the true
definition of closeness for me. I met her in the first year of junior college. What started
off as a fight turned out to be the most prized relationship for me. I was a solitary person
till I met her. I had many friends but never could share my innermost feelings with anybody.
She was there for me during every crisis - major and minor. I would call her my crisis
manager. She understood instinctively how I felt and how to help. I knew I could call her
anytime and say "I need you, can you come?" and she would not bat an eyelid. I never felt
the slightest awkward to ask her for help. Knowing that I had her rock steady support made me feel secure. She changed college with a
promise to meet me every week. A promise she kept. She came home every Saturday evening. I
didn't need to entertain her, nor did she entertain me. It was like spending the evening on
my own- but better. She had a unique overview of my life and therefore was in a position to
give me advice. She never judged me like others did and was always honest. Two years of
understanding and ultimate loyalty. I never took it personally when we didn't talk for a
while. Because when we did get in touch nothing had changed.I realize her worth today. Even though I was a loner before I met her, I never felt so
lonely like I feel today. Life has changed ever since she's gone. But I know, even though
she's living in a different world than mine, I still can call out to her in my troubled
days. She is someone I cant ever let go. She is my support, my superstar and my best friend
always!! An angel who touched my heart truly! FRIEND-someone one likes and chooses to spend
time with u,a sympathizer,helper and supporter. But ketaki was much more than just all that.
Who was ketaki? To me she was everybody..seriously everybody!

The article is moving.
If she means everybody to you,you should start seeing her in every body.
She left you an inspiration.
Everything happens for love.There is no inspiration like love.
Move on with her memories in you.Let them inspire you to invite more such angels in your life.
