My family and I met her for the first time when she was a young lady of just 99 years, and yet, in a couple of minutes, our hearts were captured. Not a word was spoken, but there was this elegance and dignified grace of a stalwart.
What struck me the most was the poise with which she held and carried herself. In every gesture, there was a blend of strength and gentleness. Her hands, weathered by years of teaching, held an unseen resilience, a silent testimony to the challenges she had overcome. It was as if the very act of educating had sculpted her into a masterpiece of compassion and resilience. Her hands were the starting piece of this entire conversation with her granddaughter, Mehreen.
It is through Nani that we connected with our own grandparents again. What a blessing it is to know her and to have experienced this love. We also thank the entire Dossal family for allowing us to come and be a part of such intimate moments.
