Faris (aka Faroosi) Ghassan Sanjakdar, you came to us on May 20, 1993, as the sweetest, gentlest, and most lovable essence on earth. You departed on January 1, 2024, as a free spirit with a heart of gold.
Every cell of my body hurts as it adjusts to the reality that you no longer exist in your earthly form.
You have gifted me with the sweetest experiences of your childhood and adulthood. What seemed to be an everlasting life full of love and laughter; the dance parties we had as soon as you learned to stand on your little flat feet that continued throughout your adulthood, our sing-a-longs to Barney and Friends and karaoke sessions to Bee Gees, Outkast, Fairuz, and Sherine, the bake-offs we had with your delicious banana chocolate muffins and key lime pies, and our Thursday night family outings to Chuck E Cheese or the National Mall where I chased you and Hagar around during your toddler years, are only a few of the countless memories that I carry in my heart.
