Dearest Elahe jan,
I cannot believe your departure from our lives. I can not believe that I will never hear your gentle voice when I phone your home or hear your laughter.
I remember when I saw you and your beautiful family in Iran, how happy you all looked together.
When I complemented your father on his shoes, he looked at you so lovingly and said you had bought it for him on Father’s day. And he jokingly said that “Elahe spends all her money on buying presents for us” and then you said "there is no greater joy in life than this, spending for and with those you love”. When you were leaving our home I told your father we’ll see you tomorrow and he said “If I’m alive yes, he said "I believe you have to love so fully with all your heart today because there may never be a tomorrow ”.
Elahe jan, I have been going over all these great memories over and over again.
You father’s sudden death was heart breaking enough, and your tragedy somehow has shaken us so much that part of us have died with you. And yet part of you will live in all of us for as long as we live. If before looking at your photo was a reminder of you, now looking at all things beautiful, the blue sky, the moon, the trees blossoming,… in every thing and all things your beautiful face and your heart that was so full love and joy is present.
With Lots of love
Mahboubeh
