I chased that dream for years — studying Spanish in Spain at 21, teaching English there at 26, and pursuing a master’s there at 29 — but I kept ending up back in Texas. At 35, I tried again, arriving in Spain with doubts and no clear plan. But the positive shift was immediate.

Ibrahim al-Aqqad’s ink has outlived him. On many streets in Khan Younis and its refugee camp, the elegant strokes of his calligraphy still grace shop signs. Just four months ago, amid the destruction, he hand-painted the name of my sister’s husband’s pharmacy: al-Aqqad Pharmacy.

Ibrahim’s story is one of thousands…
