"She came to the airport with two names in her heart but only one voice would call out, ‘Mom.’ One son survived. The other burned. And now she has to hold the living one while her soul screams for the one who never came home. How does a mother smile at the child who lived without collapsing for the child who didn’t? This isn’t just sorrow. This is the kind of pain that doesn’t end."
