A Lost Dancer

"My baby didn't make it". These are the words of a father about his beautiful daughter Reema, lost on the campus of Virginia Tech. She was a dancer, just a freshman, but already teaching; belly dancing from what I've heard on news coverage. Reema was part of a dance troupe on campus. She was a free spirit, lost while sitting in her French class. I know her type, because I am blessed to have one of these beautiful, free spirits in my life. She is most happy, on fire really, when she is dancing. It is her love, her passion. She makes everyone around her happy, when they have the privelege of watching her doing what she loves the best.
Reema will be missed so much by her loving family. I am so blown away by the courage and composure demonstrated by her father, as well as her brother and sister, who have all shared Reema's story with those of us who are listening.
Her father just wants to see her one more time, (when the coroner is finished doing what he needs to do. ) to kiss his beautiful daughter's face.
