Imagine the moments frozen in time—the last hug, the last smile, the last time she heard their laughter without knowing it would be the last.
This is the reality she now carries.
And she is not alone in her suffering.
There are others—two additional survivors whose names we may not yet know.
A woman.
A teenager.
Each of them carrying their own version of this trauma.
Each of them forever changed.
One of them escaped by jumping from a roof.
Think about that for a moment.
The instinct to survive so strong that it overrides fear, pain, gravity itself.
That moment—the decision to leap—was not just physical.
It was desperation.
It was survival.
It was a cry for life in the face of unimaginable terror.
And somehow, they are still here.
Still breathing.
Still carrying the weight of what they witnessed.
This is not just a tragedy.
It is a wound that will ripple through time.
Through memories.
Through every future moment that now feels uncertain and heavy.

A mother who loved.
A mother who nurtured.
