The will of journalist Maryam Abu Daqah:
Gaith, you are your mother’s heart and soul.
I want you to pray for me and not cry over me, so I can remain happy. I want you to make me proud, to succeed, to excel, to stand strong, and to become a capable businessman, my love.
I want you, my dear, never to forget me. I always did everything to make you happy, to keep you joyful and comfortable, and to give you everything.
When you grow up, get married, and have a daughter, name her Maryam after me. You are my love, my heart, my support, my soul, and my son who always makes me proud and brings me joy with his good reputation. I entrust you, Gaith, to your prayers—your prayers, your prayers, my dear.
Your mother, Maryam.
