(To my dearest mentor in the medical field, my dear sister Karomatova Gulnoza)
Enduring so much hardship, staying awake at night,
Feeling your patient’s pain as if it were your own,
Speaking sweet words, never getting tired,
How fortunate that you exist, my sister Gulnoza
Because of you, my heart has also found peace,
From the bottom of my heart, my love and loyalty are for you,
I love you, and only you,
How fortunate that you exist, my sister Gulnoza
Tell me, what would I do if you weren’t there?
I would still be walking with a heavy illness,
I would fade away hopelessly and sorrowfully in grief,
How fortunate that you exist, my sister Gulnoza
May you always be healthy and safe for my happiness,
May you always walk with joy and rejoice,
Know that you are the absolute best for me,
How fortunate that you exist, my sister Gulnoza
Opening my hands in prayer, I ask of Allah,
I wish the most beautiful blessings and happiness for you,
How can I ever repay the debt of your kindness?!
How fortunate that you exist, my sister Gulnoza

I write in order to remain whole.” …. From: Serbia – Sweden
it does not return, no matter how we call it back.
The present is the only thing we truly have,
and within it, tomorrow is born.
We do not know what is coming,
but we know what we can wish for:
goodness for every human being,
peace for every child, a life without fear.
To be human is not easy,
and to be good is even harder.
Yet that is what we are called to be.
There is one planet,
and there is room for all.
Not to divide, but to recognize one another.
A world without wars,
without hunger and tears,
without the blood of the innocent —
is not a dream, but a choice.
If we pause and listen to ourselves,
we will hear a quiet voice: love.
In that word, change begins.
We must change ourselves
to change the world.
We must be the light when everything
seems on the verge of breaking.
Children are watching us.
What will we leave them?
The future is not something we wait for —
it is something we create.
Together.
