My friend and healer, Kent Silberman

My dear friend and healer, Kent Silberman, has died। He was a very amusing man, always making me laugh with assorted puns and tricks, like the one now: Every time I type a word it comes out in Hindi rather than English। I will have to translate this one word at a time so you can read it। That's typical of Kent, always doing something to lift my spirits, improve my life and make me take everything a little less hard।

His death has been a suffocating grief matching that of my own father's. Thanks for being with me, केंट, एंड मकिंग में लौघ अगं। (And amusing me again। ) I miss you।

  1. kent silberman was my art teacher, and later my science teacher in junior high school. he was an amazingly interesting, witty, and funny man; perhaps the most important person in my formative years. i have many memories of him that will always be with me.

  2. Thank you, Anonymous.

    I think of Kent everyday. This weekend I especially missed him. He helped me grow in so many ways, always opening my mind with humor and encouragment. Thank you for dropping a note with your love for Kent.
