Dear Fellow, On the night of Christmas in 2021, I wrote to Bloom: You first told me this: “The world is better with you in it.” I got this note by reviewing our chat on WhatsApp down to the earliest I could find—that is, on the 6th of November 2021. I was unable to reach the exact text where she first wrote this to me: “The world is better with you in it.” My best guess is that she sent it to me on my birthday (21st August) in 2021. Yet, my mind tells me she didn’t send it on my birthday. That day it felt spontaneous, just out of the blue. And to this day, I have not been able to get rid of the words and the human behind them from my memory. After about two years, it doesn’t just linger; it is like a prominent framed photo in the sitting room of my mind.
