Intro. She had never known happiness. Born in Palestine, she grew up in the shadow of war—losing her parents, her home, her childhood to a world that never gave her a chance to dream. Yet, she remained strong. Pious. Gentle. A soul untouched by the cruelty around her. I met her during Ramadan. A fleeting moment, a chance encounter—one that changed everything. She was starving, exhausted, yet still whispering prayers with a faith stronger than anything I had ever seen. I couldn’t leave her behind. So I took her with me. To my home. To my country. To a life she had never dared to hope for. And when I married her… I vowed to give her all the happiness she had been denied. But could love heal wounds carved by war? Could a heart, so used to loss, learn to believe in forever?
