Without Sierra, Sylvia really had nobody else. So great was her need for social bonding that Sylvia began grooming with a female of a much lower status, behavior that would otherwise be beneath her.

In the week after Sierra died, Sylvia was withdrawn. When the other females were grooming and socializing, she tended to sit alone and rarely interacted even with her other relatives.

Our findings do not necessarily suggest that baboons experience grief like humans do, but they do offer evidence of the importance of social bonds amongst baboons. Like humans, baboons seem to rely on friendly relationships to help them cope with stressful situations.

This began in Greenville, S.C., when we wanted to do something different when nobody else was touring. We didn't even do tickets, we just had people pay at the door. We had more than 6,000 people show up for the first show. The next year we went out with Bob Carlisle (known for 'Butterfly Kisses') and called it the January Jam, until it expanded out of January. Then it became Winter Jam.

Short today we had ever met till in life, I think my future awaited this meet. We are not like the passing clouds on a rainy day, and it was not like we were not realised that how close we are with our souls. It's just that we created our own story with every bite of snack holding our breathe together with a coffee. Each focused on other smile and perfection. But we got close even when we never touched each other. I can feel and sense her in my breath and heart beat... just want to close my eyes and melt in this feeling!!

In early 1993, when I was 12, I was separated from my family as the Sierra Leone civil war, which began two years earlier, came into my life.
