A heavy evening from the days of my life.
That night, I was called to the emergency ward — not to save a life, but to identify what remained of my uncles after our home was struck. I entered trembling, as if stepping into a nightmare with no waking. The air was thick with smoke, silence, and disbelief. Before me lay their bodies — or what was left of them — unrecognizable, voiceless, emptied of life. There was nothing left to heal, no pulse left to reach for.

In that single moment, something inside me shattered beyond repair. A part of me died there, beside them. Since that evening, a tear has never truly dried, and the memory has never faded. How can one forget such a sight? How can a wound born from beneath the rubble ever heal? That night was not only their death — it was the death of something within me too🙏💔
