I just learned that my friend Suba Baskaran, a Welcome Week Rep for the residence I lived in as a don at McMaster two years ago, passed away yesterday. The facebook group in her memory says she'd been battling cancer for the past year, which makes me so sad because I didn't get the opportunity to encourage her through her battle or even say goodbye.
All day I've been complaining about the York strike making my life such a struggle and now I feel like such an idiot. Here I am, living this privileged life, healthy, happy and in general good spirits, but this poor girl's life had barely begun and now she's gone.
My thoughts and prayers go out to her family, what a tragedy it must be to have to say goodbye to a young woman with the hopes of a bright future. R.I.P. Scooby, I will always remember you with a smile, just like you always greeted everyone you crossed paths with. Much love.
