My dear Tekie, my brother, coworker, advisor, source of wisdom, most of all a real and true beloved brother indeed. Your premature departure, your goodby, came soon. Yes, too soon indeed. I cannot ask why, because I will not find the answer. I cannot ask why you, because we do not choose the order of who dies first and will follow next. All we can do really, is cry, shed real sorrowful tears, but our tears will not get you back. We will cry and shed our tears anyway. You left a big hole in our hearts and our community. Who will fill up that hole? Who can replace your place, smile, kind words, wisdom and hard work? We miss you terribly. My dear and beloved brother, I am going to miss our long plans and discussions about our shared dreams to help our people. Well, you completed your journey and started eternal life. May You rest in peace brother. May the Almighty receive you with His mercy. We pray for you. Thank you for everything. Thank you and Rest in peace my brother. Dr. Amine Kidane read more
