Memory has its throes

Product details

Faris told me: “Perhaps my story will be boring to some and exciting to others… and perhaps I can be an example and a role model in some of the details of this tale. But I have some advice, Hamda, and I want to offer it to everyone who reads my story: ‘Hold fast to your dreams and ambitions, no matter how small or large… Don’t let anyone down, have mercy on the weak, and don’t argue with the insane… Honoring your parents is a paradise you will wish to dwell in forever… and your heart belongs to one person, even if you have many admirers, so don’t let it go.’ And finally, a phrase I read that I want you to remember: ‘There is no use in an apology kiss on the forehead of a dead person.’”
