This certainly is the most beautiful and soul-healing piece I've read in a long time. I was smiling, getting teary-eyed, thinking of all the Naseem phuphis and khalas, and rejoicing that this story shall stay with me forever to nourish me in more ways than one. Thank you, Natasha. <3
Naseem will grow up and love you for giving her such a deeply meaningful, resonant name. Someday perhaps, years later, in a moment of doubt she will read these words full of sunlit belief and feel a permanent sense of special within her.
What a beautiful, beautiful read, Natasha! Thank you for sharing this :)
A name with true meaning, not just one in a herd of rootless identities. 🙏
