Vibhu you were beautiful .

Inside and out.

You taught me how to smile even when everything was falling apart.

How to hold on to light when the world felt dark.

You were a fighter till the very end — a real warrior.

Even when people gave up hope, you kept going. You never stopped.

We had plans, Vibhu.

We wanted to make videos… to talk about everything you were feeling.

We thought we had time.

We didn’t.

And now all I’m left with is your voice in my head, your smile, and all the love you gave me.

I’ll miss you forever.

I really will.

Life is so damn short.

I’m going to try to live it like you did — fully, fiercely, with heart.

To be the best version of myself, every single day.

Thank you for being my friend.

Thank you for the light, the love, the laughter.

And thank you — truly — to every single person who contributed, prayed, and gave Vibhu a fighting chance.

I’m forever grateful to you all.
