A Quiet Birthday on Call 

My name is Anna. I’m a doctor .
I spent my birthday night at the hospital  — delivering difficult news, holding cold hands, smiling with my eyes behind a mask .
No hugs. No cake . No song.

But in the hallway, I paused… and breathed 
I thought of the lives I touched, the pain I helped ease, the care given quietly, without applause .

And I realized something important:
Even alone, I am not empty.

Tonight, love doesn’t look like candles or wishes.
It looks like presence.

And that is enough to keep me going.

A TRUE HERO IN THE DARKEST MOMENT 

In the aftermath of the Syrian earthquake, a brave little girl became a beacon of light amidst the darkness. Trapped under collapsed concrete, she kept her 3-year-old brother alive for 17 agonizing hours.

With unwavering courage, she comforted him with stories, held him close, and refused to sleep, knowing that as long as he was awake, he would hold on to hope.

When rescuers finally arrived, her first words were:
“Take him first.”
A heart of pure courage. A sister’s love that saved a life.

In the face of unimaginable pain and fear, this young girl proved that true heroism isn’t measured in strength, but in the boundless love and selflessness we give to those we cherish.
