Brought tears to my eyes. I had the privilege of living with a delicate uncle. My father made it his mission in life to take care of my uncle himself (a decision that was challenging for everyone and caused major rift between him and his siblings). He would often say, “as long as I have blood in my veins, he will live with us and we will care for him. After I die, do whatever you think is best.” And that’s exactly what happened. We lost him a few years after we lost my father. I didn’t realize what a privilege it was growing up with my uncle until I was older. Much love to you.

Amal, you weave so movingly the aching weight of love, loss, and quiet resilience, poignantly capturing the heavy burden of helplessness. Thankfully, this sorrow is tempered by the accompanying poem, which reminds us that solace can be found in the grace of letting go. May your beloved Iman's soul rest in eternal peace 🤍🙏🏻🕊️
