Dear Amir,
I am glad you are starting to make something of your life. All of your child values are gone and you are becoming a man. You have found a beautiful wife named Soraya and i am looking foreward to see what happens next with that.i am curious about your past however and if Hassan is going to reurn. It seems as though he never existed because not much is mentioned about him now. I also see that your developing a better relationship with you father, but at the same time you are becoming more independent. Baba seems to be more of a guide and less of a parent now that you are getting older. He knows you can take care of yourself. There is still a lot left to read for your story and i hope its more interesting as the first half.
sincerely,
matt
