My cousin was suddenly taken by covid yesterday at the young age 29. Her mother was taken by covid a couple of weeks ago, and now it has taken her aswell.

When i first heard the news of her passing, I wasn't sure how I was suppose to feel. My emotions felt very numb, like they had completely come to a halt. A part of me was denial, i kept thinking to myself " It's all a nightmare, any minute now I'm going to wake up and she'll be fine.." the realisation of knowing that she'll never come back, that i'll never speak to her again is hard to comprehend.

We both live overseas from each other. I live in England, whereas she lived in USA. But over the last few years, we saw each other quite a lot and spent a lot of time together. She and her family came to visit in 2018 - and we also went over seas to meet their family in 2017 and 2019. If I only knew that she would be taken so soon..

R.I.P Aisha. I will never forget the memories we created together. The times where we shared our thoughts about stranger things, or when you came to England and we went to get milkshakes, or the time i came to visit and we went to six flags and kept going on that same rollercoaster... Or even when we all went out at 2 am to get some hot chocolates.

You are no longer with us, but you will always live on in my memories. I'm in tears as i write this.

R.I.P Aisha, Gone, but never forgotten.
