One evening, Noor and Sami lie under the stars, talking about their dreams. Sami asks if things will ever go back to the way they were, and Noor answers with a quiet certainty that one day, they will. She describes a Lebanon where children are free, families are safe, and the land is filled with peace.
Noor’s words paint a picture of a future filled with hope, and as she speaks, Sami falls asleep, his face peaceful. Noor looks up at the stars, feeling a deep connection to her home and a sense of purpose she has never felt before.
She knows that the road ahead will not be easy, but she is ready. Her stories have taught her the strength of her community, and she believes that they can face any challenge together. Her notebook, once a simple gift, has become a beacon of hope, filled with dreams and resilience.
As the village rebuilds and grows, Noor continues to write, capturing their journey and her vision for a brighter future. Her words are her gift to Lebanon, a message to the world that no matter how difficult things may become, hope will always endure.
The story concludes with Noor standing at the edge of the village, her notebook in hand, gazing toward the mountains and dreaming of the future. She knows that one day, her Lebanon will be a place of peace, a place where all children can grow up without fear. And until that day comes, she will keep writing.
