As I held my head under water
I heard from afar the voice of my Heavenly Father
And Allah said “Ibrahim, Raise your head, for your phone is ringing and I need for you to comfort my daughter”
On the phone, Yureilis Isabel Castillo informed me that she would soon be a medical Martyr
Because her brain tumor is causing her to seize and making life harder
And i dropped the phone because I knew that from this pain I could not Guard her.
But my only response was “I Fucking love you”.
And as she replied “I love you too”, I started praying to God for a breakthrough
Is I grew even more upset because we wouldnt be having this conversation if she came from a family that was “Well to do”
Instead i was staring at my phone and the heart that had previously been ripped out of my chest
As I listened to her deafening tears fall from distress
For the doctor told her that she only had 2 months to live, and expected her not to be depressed
But I know that this angel can only take so much pain
Before she utters her rosebud like Citizen Kane
Except her life has not been lived in vain
For she saved me from drowning in my sinks rain
Changed me from the inside out, and I will never be the same
And even if it comes Posthumously, the world will never forget your name.

I love you Yureilis Isabel Castillo.
I will Never forget you
