“I can't remember a single moment in my life when my dad, Mansour, had any trace of negativity in his voice or actions. He’d always tell me to stay positive through the dark times and through the good, when we'd get stuck in traffic or when I couldn't get the coffee that I wanted,” Ryan said.
The 13-year-old son of the deceased said that he doesn’t want to talk about bad things. He also described his father in one word by saying him ‘strong’.
He added, “Because I know that if my dad was alive and if someone else died in the crash and that he was right here giving a speech, he wouldn't talk about the bad stuff. I won’t.”
The video was shared by Catherine McKenna with a caption, “While so many of us struggle to find the words to express our sadness over the many lives lost in last week's horrific plane crash, 13-year-old Ryan — who lost his beloved father, Mansour — shows unbelievable poise in the face of extreme tragedy.
