Sad
I heard enough bad news today. This morning, I was told father of my brother in law passed away today. Then at the afternoon, I got a SMS — telling me on the decease of a friend’s dad.
It’s a sad day, hearing all these news, and the failed operation? of conjoined twins Laleh and Ladan Bijani. In their last letter, they said:
Both of us have started on this journey together and we hope that the operation will finally bring us to the end of this difficult path, and we may begin our new and wonderful lives as two separate persons.
Nobody could really imagine how they actually gone through all these years. I take my hat off to them, for their courage. And may them rest in peace.
