Sahar Fares’ Fiance Posts Heartbreaking Christmas Message To Her
As many of us celebrate this holiday season, let us spare a thought for the 200+ families who are forced to go through this Christmas without their loved ones due to governmental negligence and corruption.
Sahar Fares, the brave 27 year old fire fighter who was sent to her death on August 4th has made a mark on us all. Her sparkling smile and beautiful soul shine through photos, telling the story of the life she should have had.
Her fiance Gilbert Karaan has been vocal about her loss, repeatedly asking for justice and demanding answers. Sadly his demands have fallen on deaf ears.
Just this past weekend, Karaan took to his Facebook account to share a heartbreaking message to his beloved Sahar during this holiday season.
Loosely translated, here are some highlights:
“To my heroic, beautiful bride…I did not know this year would rob me of my life partner…I did not know this year would keep Sahar and I from making our dream come true…I did not know this year, time would stop on August 4th at 6:07 PM.
“How difficult this Christmas is, thinking back on when we used to decorate the tree and buy gifts for each other…on Christmas we would hold each other and celebrate together, and argue about whether we’d celebrate at your parent’s house or mine, it is difficult to see you have become a photograph that decorates my Christmas tree.
“You are a hero my bride, a hero for all of Lebanon…heaven is lucky to have you.”
This comes at a time when the investigation into the Beirut port blast has been put on hold due to political meddling.
May you rest in peace, Sahar and may we finally have justice for the victims.
