Abdelfattah Qasem was killed in the March 15 mosque attack just months before the birth of his grandson. Alsalfiti said watching her grandson grow had been a bright moment in two years of grief. She is based in Christchurch, but regularly talks to Elias in Melbourne on video calls. “For me, I look at my grandson and feel that Abdul is coming to life again,’ she said. “Elias starts some of his sentences with no’ and Abdul used to do the same thing.
