The Dazzling Hannu

Yesterday my best friend Hana Naas passed away after four years of battling cancer. She left behind four children, her husband Soliman Dregia, her mum and dad, her brother ayman and three sisters and her unforgettable legacy. To me she was not a mere friend but a loving sister, a wise mentor, a trusty confidante, someone who listened to me, gave me advices, patted my shoulder when I did well and told me off when I wronged. I’m lost without her, her wisdom, her support and encouragement, her bright smile, her bravery, her loyalty and devotion, her contagious enthusiasm, her high standard of work ethics, her unconditional love for her family and friends, her admirable ambitions, her dazzling intelligence, her love for life and everyone.

Oh Hannu, Oh my dearest sweet Hannu, I’m lost without you; life has no meaning without you; Free Libya has no meaning without you. I’m inconsolable.

Rest in Peace my beloved friend; my God give all of us patience and join you in paradise soon.
