“Imagine there’s no countries, it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.” -John Lennon
Rather than running for his life, Adel sacrificed it to save
100s.
This is Adel Termos, a young father of two.
Adel spotted the second ISIS
suicide attacker heading towards the Mosque in Burj Al Barajneh, Beirut’s
Southern Suburb, Lebanon, to blow himself up, and take100s of lives gathered to
pray. Adel ran and tackled the bomber who quickly dispatched his bombs taking
both of his life and Adel’s with him.
Adel sacrificed his life for the sake of 100s others.
Adel… May your Precious and Heroic soul Rest in Peace.

It is the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” (x)
“there’s a little girl waiting in a garden. she’s going to wait a long while, so she’s going to need a lot of hope. go to her. tell her a story. tell her, that if she’s patient, the days are coming that she’ll never forget.”
Picture from last year when I visited Ground Zero. I watched as a man placed this flag on his family member’s name and pay his respects.

Most of that devastating day is a blur to me but I will never forget seeing that man last year. Truly one if the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever seen.
