My dear friend Levin was in trouble on 3rd of July when he fell from his keelboat during his regular sailing session. He went missing for about one and a half day before divers found him today. The news came as a great shock and with that, I wanted to leave a note for Levin in Facebook to bid my last goodbye.

Upon my visit, I was touched to notice overwhelming and heartening farewells and well-wishing notes that were left behind by his friends logging into Levin’s Facebook profile. It struck me this very moment that Facebook is not only used to connect and make new friends or to play fancy games, but it also served as a repository of fond memories when one had passed on from this world. Those posted pictures, videos, notes, wall posts, mini-feed logs – are memories stored in the virtual world for us to see and reminisce those times.

Levin, every new beginning is some beginning’s end, and here you begin your new journey, and you will find your happy place. God Bless You, always.
