Dear diary.
Today was Saim's birthday. I bought him a phone. I fear he'll misuse it though. So I made sure to tell him who exactly pays the bills in the house.
A friend told me today that he just got to know about my mother's death. He said he was sorry.
Did I ever tell you? Once, azra came to me and said, "I just got to know your father is dead. I'm really sorry Reza..."
You know why I mention this? There was sincerity in that stranger's eyes as she gave her condolence four years after my father's death. There was no emotion in my friend's words when he gave his condolences a year after my mother's death.
The difference...
*sigh*
...I could not help but notice.
-Reza.
