Badjhur was an ever-welcoming presence within the VA community and I will always hold a great admiration for how he enriched those around him with a sense of joy and belonging.
Though our interactions were few, he was always exceedingly kind, wise and humble.
Rest Easy, Badj.
Don’t ever feel silly for crying or mourning over someone you never personally knew. We all connected through him as a community. He provided comfort, a safe haven where we could be ourselves…. never apologize for feeling something.
