Here is a letter from someone who has not posted in a while. The person comes from a small Iranian village that has seen dramatic modernization in the last 20 years, with many people leaving to move to the big city or abroad. I thought it would be interesting for readers to see how dynamic life is in Iran, just as it is everywhere else. These are the details we don’t hear about on the news, but the real meat and potatoes of life. All names have been changed to English names:
Last night we went to Bob’s wedding. Bob is Aunt Jane’s son. He married a girl who is very different from him and 5 years older. His parents urged them to wait at least a year before marrying, but it did not help. so pray for them.
Your cousin was accepted to university in pharmacy and traditional drugs (Persian Herbal Medicine). She is so happy and beautiful and of course married to a nice boy, a phd candidate.
Uncle Joe is divorced for 2 years looks better now. His wife was not there so i was saved because in all weddings i am stuck sitting next to her for ever.
Becky is divorced which is very good news. she was unhappy with her no good husband. she is working in a beauty salon and lives in tehran. Saam divorced his wife and their little baby lives with her mother and visits him on weekends. Sara is wonderful her kids are so big and tall and successful and the oldest is in college.
