It’s still unreal to me. Anyways I have to cope with that somehow. Yesterday was one of my best friends burial (Nikolay Paskalev).His departure from this earth was something shocking both for me and for many close friends … Last I went to his home on Saturday.We even played a bit of Teken on his Playstation 2 as well as we watched a movie of Angry Nintento Video game nerd. His health conditionhas worsened recently. I didn’t really realize his condition was so severe. On Monday it seems his breathing problems and his general condition was critical so he and his mother went to the hospital to check his heart. The cardiology results were terrible, his doctor called an ambulance and he was hospitalized. In the ambulance the doctors decided to gave him some kind of pills to calm him down to help him breath more easily… As a result Niki slipped into a deep sleep a coma and then his heart dropped operation completely. Nomen called me in around 3:30 or 4 and informed me he is in the rehabilitation. 20 or 30 minutes later around 4 he called again and told me Niki is gone … I couldn’t believe I still really cannot believe and cannot get used to the fact that I’m not going to see him even more on earth. He is gone now. Niki has suffered with a terrible uncommon disease “spinal muscle atrophy”. His life was far from perfect but anyways he never complained. Even in his last days he just said “I don’t fell OK” the last time I saw him on Saturday and that was it. He even wouldn’t share that he felt physically bad if I haven’t asked about it. I know him since he was a child, I know him for maybe 10 years and now he is gone to the place that’s the best as the Larry Norman sings in “Spirit in the Sky”. Niki was a great fan of sci-fi, he posessed an extraordinary intellect for his age. His competence was in all spheres of knowledge. History as a subject was a matter of great interest for him. He also was believing Christian! Many times our goings out for a walk in his case for a drivewas a great joy for me and I hope him as well. His English fluency was much better than mine. He had just graduated 11th grade this year. Next year he was supposed to be complete his study. For a long period he was big fan of World of Warcraft and devoted gamer in general. He has completed most of the games I even know. I’ll never forget him as a friend and a brother in Christ. Yesterday during the burial and even though I saw his body in a coffin I remained called, I’m sure Niki has prayed to the Lord for us the sinners who stayed on earth. I would say that a grace came out of his body. As an orthodox christian we believe that his soul is on a journey to God now. A journey to be completed on the 40th day after his departure from earth. I pray that Our God and Saviour Jesus Christ with the Father and the Son in one unite and holy trinity keep him and grant him eternal joy peace and rest in heaven! AmenA news is also available in Bergon’s forum where he was quite active. Here is a link to it . A link to Niki’s profile in facebook is here Some of the pictures we have together are here . His skype name was: “lunarstill”. I know also Niki did had also a profile in youtube. However I don’t have his profile yet. Asap as I have it I’ll try to post it. Today I had a bit of work even though I haven’t had much of it. I wrote two small shell scripts to help me with my routine administration tasks both of them are in Memoriam of Niki. The scripts 1st script lists all emails of a current vpopmail domain and can be seen here under the name list-domain-emails.sh . The 2nd one lists all the databases and there sizes in MBs within a MySQL server and can be seen here: check-databases-sizes.sh .Niki we miss you man … And yes Niki you was a really good guy and a real blessing for us throughout the time we spend together. Again we won’t forget you Niki!END—–
