My mother, Huda, 38, is the most precious person in my life. Sometimes when she thinks I'm asleep, I see her sitting alone, staring at the wall. I pretend to sleep, but she knows I'm awake. She pulls the blanket up, strokes my head, and whispers, "If we survive tomorrow, I'll teach you something new." She is not a soldier, but she fights. She hides her pain in silence, but I hear it. Sometimes I catch her staring at the ceiling, her eyes unblinking. I once asked her, "Are you okay?" She didn't answer. Just smiled. A broken smile that scared me more than silence. One evening, she whispered, "I don't want him to grow up knowing only fear." She was talking about my 4-year-old brother, Shaheen. She teaches him letters on scraps of paper while drones circle above. She draws the letter on burnt paper. It's the first letter of 'bayt' home. But we have no home. She says, "We'll bake bread tomorrow," even when there is no flour. She says, "The windows are broken because we wanted more air," even though that is not why the windows are broken. She says, "The baby is sleeping," even though the baby is gone.

In Pawnstars Meme Format Handlebar Mustache: We should have food forests in our schools, parks, libraries. Man in Hat: Food forests cannot feed people like supermarkets can. Handlebar Mustache: Food forests provide community food resiliency, health benefits and carbon sequestration! Man in Hay: People want to buy food in stores! *Throws chair for dramatic effect* Handlebar Mustache: Culture changes, people can realize food can become a part of our life without stores! *Points sternly*

A flash art meme of a person pointing at a pan of freshly fried rice, and telling a shrimp (who presumably fried the rice), "Bullshit, Im telling you, there's no fucking way."
