Guys, the last couple of weeks have been very surreal for me. As many of you know, my younger brother, Kashi Jobrani, died suddenly on April 22nd. First I went through shock, then anger, sadness and many other emotions. I now find myself in Europe on a 12 city tour in 14 days. From here I go to the Middle East for 2 more shows. These shows have helped me focus on laughter and what I love to do for a living, but I would say that 23 hours of the day my brother returns to my thoughts. Its amazing how much you think about a person when theyre gone. When theyre here you might be pissed at them or tired of listening to them or just forget about them because youre so busy with your life. However, when theyre gone they become your obsession! I know that this is part of the healing process and I have been going through some ups and downs. The downs come when you think about the fact that he is gone for good. Nothing you can do or say will bring him back and that really really sucks! The ups come when you get the love from friends and family. I wish my brother were alive today to see how much people love him. I have been humbled by people reaching out and asking what they can do to help. From the start I have asked that anyone who wants to send flowers or cards should take whatever they were planning on spending and put that towards my brothers son, Kamran. Kamran is a very special 7 year old boy who now lives without a father. My family and I plan to do our best to make Kamrans life as normal as possible. Please please please, if you are asking where to send flowers or cards, please go to this website and put that $1 or $5 or whatever towards Kamran. Thats all I ask. This is a site that a friend set up and I love him for doing that. Please also feel free to post comments about Kash if you knew him at this site as well youcaring/other/let-s-make-a-difference-in-kamran-s-life-/174339 - I thank you all for helping Kamran in any way possible! Another thing that has happened is that I find myself more sympathetic to those who have lost loved ones. It is amazing how many people have lost loved ones way too early. I have gotten several e-mails from people sharing their losses with me and I just wish I could reach out over the internet and give every one of them a hug. Sometimes life just isnt fair. Sometimes you lose the young ones way too early. I have no answer for why that happens, but it does. The only thing that can help you get through these losses is the love of those around you. I was telling someone the other day that when you lose someone so close to you, you realize how much you love anyone that you know. Even the people that get on your nerves, you love them - because they are a part of you. I know I said this in an earlier post, but I will say it again - make sure to hug the people you love and tell them that you love them. The simple act of hugging someone and telling them that you love them is a healing process in itself. Im sorry if Ive been very emotional in my posts recently, but this is what Im going through and I have to express myself. Maybe they should create a site called Hugbook so that I dont have to bother you all with my emotional stuff on Facebook. Anyway, Im done ranting here and I hope that in time I can get back to my normal self. Thank you all for your patience and thank you for spreading the word on my loss. If you have had a loss recently in your life please accept my condolences and I send you an online hug! With love, Maz
