1st day in Tehran

Shervin had told everyone that we will not arrive until the next day so our family would not make the long trip to the airport in the middle of the night. I called my cousin Mahboob and when she saw the name on the caller ID, she knew she had been tricked. SHe is a bundle of energy and full of kindness. She has been a nnurse most of her life but she was really in mamnagement most of it. When the war started, instead of fleeeing to the safe partts, she decided to stay in Abadan, thinking that she was most needed there.
My aunt had developed a bit of dimentia and had a lot of back pain. I believe she is 95 or 96. A little sad but everyone should learn resiliance. She always has a great attitude and is ready to jam to any song and will never say no to going any place. My other cousin Soraya was also there. Mahboob and Soraya had always been there for my aunt and always take care of her. We decided to go to the north which is the area next to the Caspian sea the next day. It is always a destination for most Iranians because of it's natural beauty. I have mix feelings about the area since my sister drowned in that sea when she was 16. More to come....
