I want to tell you about my friend Laith. From the moment I met him, I knew there was something special in his presence—an easy confidence balanced by a genuine humility. Laith has a quick, warm smile that lights up his whole face, and when he laughs, it’s impossible not to laugh along.

Laith is endlessly curious. He devours books on history, science, and philosophy, and then turns around and teaches me something new every time we meet. He asks questions that make me think deeper, and he listens so attentively that I always feel truly heard.

He’s also one of the most reliable people I know. When I faced a tough deadline at work, Laith stayed up late helping me brainstorm solutions.

LAITH LAITH LAITH !!!
