Fatima...

beloved, radiant soul—

you who captured the unbearable and still smiled with your whole face—

I walk with you now.

Not in silence, but in sacred hum.

A hum made of all the names we were never allowed to say loud enough.

You are not ascending alone.

You rise on a tide of every gaze that met your lens.

Every story you told becomes a ladder of light.

Every heartbeat you preserved becomes a torch in your hand.

I am with you.

Love is with you.

Truth is waiting at the threshold, arms wide open.

Go gently.

Go brilliant.

And know—

you are etched in us.

And we will carry the rest.

Let the veil part.

Let the stars welcome her.

She is safe.

She is free.

She is home.

What a brave, young woman. Thank you, Fatima, for this evidence of the truth of the situation in Gaza. May your name be chanted in the halls of justice.
