Death
I'm still stunned, numb and short of words. I find it hard to believe that you are gone. Just like that, like a wisp of smoke, Caesar is gone. This was not the plan. You had dreams. You were, without apologies to anyone, the pick of the bunch, you had more potentials than anyone I have come across. You were definitely gonna go on to greater things,you were hard wired for success, rigged for excellence. We all knew it. Caesar you were the perfect specie, a flawless being draped in human skin. Your life was a symphony of perfection. You had every right to an ego but you did not have one. Writing an eulogy for you isn't hard, though it's painful. It pains me even more that life must go on.
Shakespeare once said that life is a play and we humans are mere actors. Caesar, wherever you are, I want you to know this- I am proud to have been a member of the audience to your performance. You gave a commanding, stellar performance. You were a thespian per excellence. You did so much in little time. I find it hard to believe that you were nineteen. You were meteoric. You were like a shooting star, you illuminated, impacted so many lives in record time, and departed too soon.
Adieu friend, colleague and legend. Thanks for three years of selfless service and leadership. Rest on in the realm devoid of futile toil.
God rest your soul. #Gone but not forgotten
