Summary

Summaryβ€œI love Christmas πŸŽ„ because we share gifts, decorate the tree and laugh together. My dad’s name was Radieff. One day, he saw a bomb under our school bus and shouted β€˜Stop!’—the explosion hit him instead, and he died saving so many students. Everyone calls him a hero πŸ’”. I miss him most at Christmas when he isn’t there to celebrate. Sometimes I ask God why He took him, but then I remember dad was good, and I believe God brought him to heaven ✨. Now, I learn more about God and read stories of prophets who saved livesβ€”just like my dad. He lives on in those pages and in my heart.”

Rafif is an 11-year-old living in Iraq. Her father was killed trying to stop a bombing by Islamic extremists, who
were targeting Christian students. His sacrifice saved a bus full of students.
