Celebrating Father's Day Weekend and found out one of the most magical..hilarious..talented and loving people I know passed away. Anwar was a very special person that seemed to have the ability to light up a life and a room just with his presence. I am so grateful that I like so many others were blessed with the chance to know him in this life. To his family - my deepest condolences and sympathy through these hard times knowing that this life is a grain of sand and we will all be together forever someday. Peace brother in this life and the next. We will see you soon. xoxox
