I Am Who I Am (Memoir)
Two of the memories I have left of my dad are of him blind with rage. I think I’ll never forget them because they told me more about life than just the goofy good times and laughing uncontrollably together. One of these memories involves two other people who it feels like devoted years of their lives to solely take care of me and my dad. My grandmother and Uncle Harvey.

My Life
This is my story from my teenage years... 13-17 (the most interesting ones): My grandma got a deadly diagnosis, stage four pancreatic cancer, in 2013. I was 13 when this happened and they gave her only 6-12 months to live with chemotherapy. I started having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy only a few months later. Within one year, I went through so many difficult events. Her diagnosis was in November 2013. My epilepsy diagnosis was in March 2014. Shortly after I got my diagnosis, as a 13-year-old, I got a third-degree burn. This burn required going to the hospital for the blisters to pop on their own. I was there for two nights and went for a skin graft less than two weeks later. After the skin graft, I was in the hospital for another night and missed a month of eighth grade. After the surgery had healed, or so I thought, I got a sunburn where the skin graft was done. I was just a stupid kid and did not know that a person could burn through a t-shirt.

Black Heart
The atmosphere in Jamal's house was somber, fraught with concern over his daughter's abduction. Heral, a witness to the incident who had tried to intervene, recounted the distressing sequence of events. As Jamal's unease escalated, seizures began to afflict him, and his residence transformed into an impromptu police hub, frequented by undercover officers. The family held their breath, awaiting a ransom demand. However, as the fifth day approached without any word from the kidnappers, the situation took on a more ominous tone. It was clear that this was not your typical abduction. Preferring discretion, they refrained from broadcasting the issue. Only Jamal, Hydr's family, and their inner circle were privy to the abduction details. In the living room, the group's anxiety was palpable, heightened by Hydr's presence. Amid deliberations, Kareem, Zabel's brother, suggested involving Kaan, a seasoned businessman with expertise in import and export, and a significant presence in port operations. Despite initial reservations, the gravity of the situation swayed Jamal to embrace any potential solution. Kaan's participation ensued, and during discussions, a chilling realization set in – the abduction ran deeper than ransom. With law enforcement assistance, it was confirmed that Zabel hadn't left the country. Suspicion turned to a disturbing conclusion: the captor was intimately acquainted with Zabel. Heral shared a troubling insight – this abduction was premeditated, specifically targeting Zabel. Jamal spearheaded investigations into her connections, peers, and activities. The mystery deepened, leaving him grappling with uncertainty about the kidnapper's identity and motives. Heral retrieved Zabel's laptop, yet initial searches yielded no pertinent clues. Despite the setbacks, the family remained steadfast. Heral vowed to probe further among Zabel's contacts. Jamal, torn between anxiety and confusion, found solace in his daughter's resolute spirit. United by their determination, they pledged to unveil the truth behind Zabel's abduction, determined to bring her back home.
