Who Was Fathima Fowzia?

Kind

Our mother had a way of making everyone around her feel seen.

She gave her compassion freely to her children, family and friends.

She never once made anyone feel like it cost her anything.

Resilient

She raised the three of us on her own, and she did it quietly.

No complaints, no bitterness, or asking for pity.

Every single day, she simply showed up and carried whatever she had to carry with her head held high.

Graceful

Life threw a great deal of difficulty at her from financial hardship, to health struggles, and to dealing the world as a single parent. She faced them all with a dignity that we, her sons, still find hard to put into words. In every sense, she was our warrior.
