She didn’t panic.
She only tilted her head, those dark eyes far too focused for a nine-year-old, walked over, patted my shoulder, and said in a voice much calmer than mine:

I thought it was just one of those things children say when adults fall apart in front of them.
I shut myself in my room and spent the next few days staring at loan options, unanswered emails, late notices, and every worst-case scenario I could imagine.
What I didn’t know was that while I was spiraling, my quiet little girl in our tiny Atlanta apartment was already fixing everything.
And I definitely did not expect the first sign of it to come through a frantic WhatsApp call from Dubai — my sister on the line, hysterical, screaming my name like I had just taken something precious from her.
You won’t believe what happened next…
