    I am always writing about iZ and I felt the deepest sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart when I got to know that we lost this beautiful man who was just perfect in every single way. I am sure, that if I was close to him, I would have fight to save him from the ones who killed him.
    But I do also understand that not matter what, when the time comes, we have to leave, and go were all souls go when our missions in life has been completed and he did completed his missions in this life. He then, went to the place from which he will come back to live and again he will teach us even more than he did this time.
    Now, I think that when we cry for him, we also cry for ourselves, because we need people like IZ in this cold and suffering world, to not loose ouselves in the misery and desperation that it is growing in this world nowadays. I have been looking for another one of this exceptional kind of man, without success. If someone here knows a man that it is like him, please let me know, I will be happy to know him and to love him as much as I love IZ!
