I'm so sorry for your loss and shattered heart. Although I had not said more than "Hi" to Malik at the Rec Center, the smile was unforgettable! I have always appreciated a happy student smile before or after a workout and Malik never disappointed! Sending thoughts, love and prayers for peace.
I don’t know how you are feeling, but I would guess it is taking all your effort to take one day at a time. This is such a shock. Our children are supposed to outlive us. There is no easy way to grieve Malik being gone. You have my sympathy for what it is worth. I am so sorry. I have added to my prayer list for the weeks to come. Take care of yourself.
