I will follow you to the ends of the world.

Many years later when I began training as a plastic surgeon I understood something that I had not that day in the kitchen arguing for Thalia to leave Tinos for the boarding school. I learned that the world didnt see the inside of you that it didnt care a whit about the hopes and dreams and sorrows that lay masked by skin and bone. It was as simple as absurd and as cruel as that. My patients knew this. They saw that much of what they were would be or could be hinged on the symmetry of their bone structure the space between their eyes their chin length the tip projection of their nose whether they had an ideal nasofrontal angle or not.Beauty is an enormous unmerited gift given randomly stupidly.

it is a heartBreaking sound Amir Jan the Wailing of a mother. I pray to Allah you Never hear it.

there is a God there always has been. I see him here in the eyes of the people in this hospital corridor of desperation. This is the real house of God this is where those who have lost God will find Him... there is a God there has to be and now I will pray I will pray that He will forgive that I have neglected Him all of these years forgive that I have betrayed lied and sinned with impunity only to turn to Him now in my hour of need. I pray that He is as merciful benevolent and gracious as His book says He is.
