๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ๐ด ๐ ๐๐ช๐ฅ๐ฏโ๐ต ๐๐ข๐บ is written in short chapters, each named after an emotion. Instead of following a timeline, the book moves through feelings as they appeared in the authorโs life. The story mainly centers on the authorโs relationship with her youngest son, Hamoodi, who has developmental communication challenges.
The book does not focus on medical details or explanations. It stays close to daily life and the emotions that come with it, including confusion, patience, fear, hope, and quiet love. Some moments are heavy, while others are gentle, but all are shared honestly and without exaggeration.

The book talks about what it feels like to care for someone while carrying many unspoken thoughts. It shows how caregiving can slowly change a person, often without them noticing right away. Feelings such as guilt, worry, and uncertainty appear alongside moments of strength and calm.
There is no attempt to explain everything or to offer solutions. The story allows feelings to exist as they are, even when they feel unfinished or unclear.

The book was written as a way to put private thoughts into words. Many of these thoughts were never spoken at the time they were felt. Writing became a way to keep a record of emotions, both for the author herself and for her children in the future. The book accepts that not every story has a clear ending.

Each chapter ends with blank or lined pages. These pages are included to give readers space to pause, think, or write if they choose. This feature supports the quiet nature of the book and allows readers to engage with the story in their own way.
