‫انسَني مرة، وستفقدني للأبد‬

My parents adored me, yet for lowering the thermostat one degree to keep my sister comfortable, they locked their five-year-old in a heavy-duty freezer. They lavished attention on my sister, forgetting me entirely until a neighbor broke in to find me near death. They knelt, weeping with regret. And I watched. The chill you gave me ran deeper than any ice.
