Heydar Salehi Kahneshooeiye

Heydar Salehi Kahneshooeiye was a second-grade student.

His father spends long hours every night, until morning, lying beside his grave and looking at the resting place of his beloved child.

This is the only thing we know about him.

We do not know more about this martyr, but this alone is enough: his grief has not left his father’s heart. Heydar’s story reaches us through the image of a father who cannot leave his child, even after burial; a father who keeps vigil beside a small grave, night after night, because love has nowhere else to go.
