Read on, for in Masoud's reply, there is also something I want you to know.<BR/><BR/>Dear Anonymous, thank you for your good wishes. Heeh! I think I've about given up on men! It's complicated and exhausting to go into it now, but when I wrote that short poem, All the Women Inside of Me, I tried to explain what has gone wrong in my few relationships with men! My strengths overshadow my vulnerabilities but they are still there and this leads to misunderstandings which are hard to remedy. Thanks for the thought, though!<BR/><BR/>Masoud Jan, my sweet and kind friend, thanks for coming again and again. Yes, I did make out enough words in the poem to get a general idea about it. Thank you. You have always been very supportive of me as a mother.<BR/><BR/>In all the time that I have been blogging, I had never deleted a blog, so your observation is correct as usual. I wrote a post about my visit with my young artist friend, Hamed Nikpay, and his upcoming album, All Is Calm. Sweet Hyacinth left a comment on it, too. But he and I decided later to postpone talking about his album until it actually comes out. I tried to edit the post and eliminate some things, but the result was not to my liking so I decided to delete it and re-write something appropriate about him in a few days. I do apologize to Hyacinth for having also deleted her beautiful comment in the process.<BR/><BR/>Hyacinth, sounds like you live in the area. If you do, won't you come to lunch with me sometime? If you come on a Friday or a Monday, I can also ask Hamed to come along and meet one of his fans!<BR/><BR/>Again, thank you all for your beautiful words here and always. I am blessed for more reasons than one.Nazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077066782490668686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194313722894510392.post-78525307771474363442008-09-23T23:56:00.000-07:002008-09-23T23:56:00.000-07:00أمّيفي عيدكِ...ماذا أقول؟لن يكفي شعرٌ...مهما يطولل...أمّي<BR/>في عيدكِ...ماذا أقول؟<BR/>لن يكفي شعرٌ...مهما يطول<BR/>لن يكفيَ نثر<BR/>قلماً...ومداده بحر!<BR/>يا أول وجهٍ لمحته في الدنيا<BR/>يا أول بسمة<BR/>يا مطراً في صحراء العمر...<BR/>ويا فيّا<BR/>شجراً...ووروداً حمر<BR/>يا أحلى كلمة<BR/>هل تقبلي هذي الكلمات؟<BR/>لولاك...هل كان حياة؟<BR/>يا دمعتي وضحكتي<BR/>يا لحناً أنتِ<BR/>وأغنيةً لنا...<BR/>هنا في غربتي<BR/>وبحورٌ تفصلنا<BR/>وأنت تنتظرين...<BR/>عودةً ولقاءاً...بعد حين<BR/>في عيدٍ آخرَ...يا "ماما"<BR/>وأنتِ بخير...وسلامة!<BR/><BR/>وينعاد عليكِ....<BR/><BR/>سلام نازی خانم <BR/>این قطعه از هاشم است.لازم نیست عربی بدانی تا آنرا درک کنی ،مثل من با همین سواد فارسی هم میتوانی آنرا بفهمی.<BR/>راستی یک پست داشته ای که من نیمه کاره خوانده بودم ولی حالا می بینم که حذف شده چرا؟مسعودhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07804091773730081156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194313722894510392.post-9901433439722964832008-09-23T13:20:00.000-07:002008-09-23T13:20:00.000-07:00Your children are so lucky to have such a fahmideh...Your children are so lucky to have such a fahmideh, kind, and progressive mother.

I loved how you talk about not wanting to create feelings of guilt and obligation in your children...that's one of the best things parents can do...unfortunately sometimes guilt and/or obligation are used by parents as a very effective means of control.<BR/><BR/>When I was younger, my mom and I were in a very similar situation to what you describe, and it took us a few years and many attempts but we now have a great relationship based on love and friendship and respect...I call her everyday because I enjoy talking to her and hearing about her day, and I love that I don't feel obliged to do so :)<BR/><BR/>Your sons are very lucky to have you as their mom :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
