Dear Dr. Sanbar They say that time will heal wounds, I honestly don’t know how true this is or how much would it take to heal mine. Every morning I search my WhatsApp chats in the hope to find a message from you as I am used to. I miss you so much and I just can’t believe that you are not around to spread the joy and enrich me with your knowledge and positive vibes, you were an inspiration to me and many others. Like a kid waiting for his gift, I always felt excited and happy every time I knew you were coming to Beirut. With you, I used to travel back in time and talk about culture, religion, spirituals, politics, Palestine, Andalusia, and the list continues. Since the first day, I began to learn from your views and perspectives and your wealth of knowledge. That will always be fundamental for my understanding of the world. Wherever we visited and whoever we met with, respect and admiration were there. I know you will always be with me during my journey and shall never be forgotten. I will forever cherish your leadership and guidance. I will carry you forever in my heart. Thank you for being there. Love Raed Mounzer
