It usually happens to me in a place full of people. Suddenly I feel you. For a second the permanent stone inside my body crumbles, and everything is quiet, and I am in a safe place. Maybe you’re in the moon at all. You’re twenty-one and suddenly you’re gone. That’s it. There is nothing more. There is no day. There is no night. Even music is no longer the same. … It’s been three months since that damn morning and still in the morning there’s a sun, a dark night. A world as is its custom and you do not even know how many people imagine you and see you since – running, shooting, carrying, eating, laughing, hitting – with the absolute confidence of a man traveling around the world with a feeling that nothing can happen to him. But a small, vicious shrapnel that penetrated your back on that bad morning in Gaza can also hurt you, and will forever humiliate you as an eternal hero. I do not know how many words can describe what you were, but it is very important that you know, brother, that you did not fall in vain, and we will all remember your charming smile and the strong and determined man you were. “Wrote Ghathawi, a village boy, who lit a memorial candle in memory of Saif and the memory of all the Druze martyrs:” When one of us goes with us something is dead in us and stays with him.
