I remember when he called me Heba because he couldn't pronounce Heather and Shaka zu-zu instead of Shaka zu-lu. I never knew him as an adult but know the loss that everyone suffers. In his picture, I can still see the little boy I used to know so long ago. I'm glad to know he grew into such a honorable adult. Heather
